SCI is proud to have partnered with The American P&I Club on this important resource, and as always, we stand with mariners and seafarers in supporting their mental health and overall well-being. Check out the link below for valuable seafarer wellness information.. #WorldMentalHealthDay
Seafaring can be a prestigious and rewarding career, but the unique demands of maritime life can lead to stress, impacting physical health, mental well-being, and workplace morale. This can apply to mariners whether they are on long sea voyages, coastal routes, or working on inland waterways. Ahead of World Mental Health Day, the Managers of The American P&I Club and Eagle Ocean Marine would like to highlight crew wellness and draw Members' attention to the Club’s Seafarer Wellness page, offering resources and guidance developed in collaboration with the The Seamen's Church Institute: “What’s on your Mind” reviews some of the common risk factors involved in the development of adverse conditions of mental health and recommends measures to prevent or treat an occurrence onboard. “Caring for Seafarers' Mental Wellbeing” is intended to help seafarers and others identify common psychological reactions to traumatic events and acute stress and to assist them through early intervention techniques. “Seafarer Mental Health Guide” provides guidance to help seafarers and ship operators better understand the factors contributing to mental health challenges for seafarers and what can be done to prevent and mitigate such effects on crews. Explore the full resources here: https://lnkd.in/eRnf_kM Members are encouraged to review these materials and contact the Managers for further guidance. #LossPrevention #CrewWellness # WorldMentalHealthDay #AmericanPandI #EO_Marine
