Every crew member’s mental health supported at sea.
We all recognise the need for healthy and robust physical well-being. Seafarers are mandated to take First Aid courses to supplement their knowledge and understanding, so they can be well informed and potentially preserve life, prevent further harm, promote recovery and provide comfort to the person who is ill or injured.
We believe the same should be done for Mental Health.
We’re dedicated to the creation of mentally healthy and resilient crew onboard yachts, through Mental Health First Aid training.
SEAS THE MIND was founded by two female yacht chefs. Both experienced and witnessed ill mental health onboard and found themselves unsupported. They decided to do something about it.
“We realised that the industry was a place that was taking its toll on the mental health and wellbeing of so many who worked within it.
Long periods away from home, high-pressure situations, accidents onboard and a lack of awareness and stigma all contribute to high levels of poor mental health amongst those working in our industry.” - Emma, founder STM
SEAS THE MIND provides MHFA Training to both individuals and seafarers within the industry, alongside a number of other initiatives aimed to raise awareness and reduce stigma around Mental Health.
