Mental Health Awareness
Objective: This training will help participants to recognise early signs of crew who may be struggling and develop the skills needed to respond effectively. We offer in-house trainings for seafarers with 12 or more participants, and open access sessions for individuals or smaller groups.
Subject Areas:
- Builds an awareness of mental health and wellbeing, addresses stigma and common myths, and introduces a better understanding of the language and terminology around mental health and psychological wellbeing.
- Builds on introduction to mental health awareness, develops participants’ capacity to recognise signs and symptoms of crew members who may be struggling with their mental health, and introduces the use of Psychological First Aid (PFA) as a framework for initial response.
- Provides training that would benefit from a greater understanding of suicide awareness, risk and prevention.
