Your mental health is part of your life.
In extreme cases true mental illness occurs and needs medical involvement. It is therefore important that symptoms and signs of mental illness are noticed early and on board ship, crew members and friends are often well placed to form an impression of a seafarer's mental state.
This guide, which you can view by clicking the view pdf button, gives advice on mental care whilst on board.
This advice is offered to you our Members as part of the Club’s partnership with ISWAN to support their Seafarers Health Information Project (SHIP), an initiative that promotes and distributes health information materials to shipping companies, seafarers’ centres, and direct to seafarers.
The project consists of 10 core topics: food safety, on-board fitness, safe travel, healthy food, malaria, weight control, STI – HIV & Aids, mental care, dental care and skin care. Explore the other topics.
