Mental Health
Crew Wellbeing and Mental Wellness
Life at sea can involve pressures unlike any experienced in other working environments. These can be compounded by extreme weather and prolonged physical separation from loved ones. If not properly managed, these conditions may adversely affect individual mental wellbeing and in turn, shipboard safety. This programme examines the importance of good mental health and the steps necessary to take care of your own and fellow seafarers’ mental wellbeing.
Social Isolation
A seagoing career inevitably involves separation from loved ones ashore. This can result in a sense of isolation, notwithstanding the community that exists onboard a ship. This programme examines the main aspects of social isolation, the physical and mental issues it may cause or exacerbate, and what can be done to control the risks.
