// The Seafarers' Health Information Programme

Good mental health

Taking care of our mental health is just as important as looking after our physical health

There are several factors that can impact seafarers’ mental health, such as job stress, family pressures and limited shore leave. Being away at sea can also make it difficult to access support. However, help is out there! We have developed a range of self-help resources to help seafarers manage and cope with low mood, stress and fatigue, and maximise their overall psychological wellbeing.

Our resources for seafarers include a series of three self-help guides, a range of mental health and wellbeing infographics, and an audio relaxation exercise.

For companies:

Our Mentally Healthy Ships guide provides information on developing and implementing mental health policies on board.

We also offer Mental Health Awareness Training for the Maritime Industry - find out more here.
