Seafarer Mental Health

Seafarer mental health refers to the psychological well-being of individuals working on ships. Prolonged isolation, long working hours, confined spaces, and being away from loved ones can lead to stress, anxiety, depression, and fatigue. The demanding environment, combined with limited access to mental health support, makes maintaining emotional resilience challenging. Recognizing and addressing these issues is vital to ensure safe, healthy, and effective operations at sea. Promoting open communication, mental health awareness, and providing access to support resources can significantly improve seafarers' well-being.
