Mental health issues are a global concern, and the UK Club continues to see an increase in mental health related claims and enquiries from Members.
Seafarers are particularly exposed to various mental, psychosocial and physical stressors such as separation from family, isolation, fatigue and long contracts.
In order to address these concerns, The Club has been raising awareness on mental health via literature, videos, and charity partnerships.

Charity Partnerships
Further support on mental health is widely available from our charity partners in the maritime sector.
The Sailors' Society
Seafarers are advised to keep up-to-date on health initiatives and to monitor their own physical and mental health. Health, exercise and diet monitoring apps are proving very popular amongst the workforce. Apps such as The Sailors' Society Wellness at Sea App work in conjunction with their enhanced training programme to actively promote positive crew wellbeing. The app provides interactive challenges on each of the five elements of Wellness at Sea training: Social, Emotional, Physical, Intellectual and Spiritual wellness. App users receive daily feedback, which enables them to monitor their progress (Android and iPhone compatible).
