Kris Hall, founder of The Burnt Chef Project, explains why he set up the hospitality-focused mental health non-profit business and how people can support the cause.

As a chef for over a decade, Doug Sanham struggled with a dissociative disorder in the kitchen that drove him to blackouts and attempted suicide. Now he runs Pilot Light – a campaign committed to raising awareness and changing perceptions of mental health in hospitality.

A few years into her kitchen career, Ravneet Gill found herself on the edge of burn out thanks to toxic kitchen environments. A role at St. John brought her back from the brink, and inspired her to found Countertalk – a community that helps chefs and front-of-house find happy, healthy workplaces.
