Mariner Mental Health: Wellness on the Water

  • $24.95



Life at sea is demanding, and mental health is as critical as physical safety. Long separations, isolation, and high stress place mariners at greater risk of depression, anxiety, and fatigue than the general workforce. When these challenges go unaddressed, they can affect safety, decision-making, and crew morale.

Prioritizing mariner mental health helps protect individual well-being, strengthen relationships onboard, and create safer, more resilient teams. This mental health course offers practical strategies tailored to maritime life, equipping mariners to support themselves and one another.

Strategies covered in this training include:

  • Recognize early signs of mental distress in yourself or others
  • Support shipmates with respect and empathy
  • Build strong, healthy onboard relationships
  • Cope with isolation, stress, and long hitches
  • Use company and community resources for support

Supporting mariner mental health is a shared responsibility. Employers can foster a positive culture by training supervisors and providing access to resources, while crewmembers play a vital role by looking out for one another. Length: 9 minutes
