Mental Health Support for Yacht Crew

Yacht Crew Help is a 24/7 service by international not-for-profit maritime organisation ISWAN

Working away from family and friends can be tough for the yacht crew. They may find it harder to talk about feeling down or stressed compared to people ashore who see their loved ones daily. Communication with home can be limited. Crew members often deal with other challenges like monotonous routines, long hours, shift work, and isolation.

Paying attention to mental health is crucial because it impacts how people think, feel, and act. Taking care of crew wellbeing isn't just the right thing to do; it makes good business sense. A happy, healthy crew is more productive, engaged, and better at their jobs.

The International Seafarers’ Welfare and Assistance Network (ISWAN) offers a free, multilingual, and confidential helpline called Yacht Crew Help for yacht crew and their families worldwide. It's available 24/7, all year round. ISWAN is an international not-for-profit maritime organisation that aims to improve the lives of seafarers and their families. They provide services, resources, strategies, and advocacy.
