Produced in partnership with Human Rights at Sea and psychological health consultancy March on Stress, this booklet provides top-level guidance for senior management to help improve the mental health of seafarers. It will be of particular value to ship managers/operators, HR departments and all involved with seafarers’ welfare around the world.

Untreated post-traumatic stress disorder can lead to poor decision-making and may have legal and financial consequences for a maritime organisation. This concise guidance, which stresses the importance of early detection and prevention of mental health issues at sea, is essential reading for all responsible maritime organisations in supporting their most important asset – their people.
