Maritime Mental Health Awareness Training: Modules 1 & 2

Description

Could you tell if someone needed help? Would you know what to do?

This training will help participants to recognise early signs of crew who may be struggling and develop the skills needed to respond effectively.

Why choose this training?

All of our courses are:

• Designed by Consultant Clinical Psychologist Dr. Pennie Blackburn, author of the ISWAN Good Mental Health Guides and Mentally Healthy Ships: Policy and Practice to Promote Mental Health on Board
• Informed by ISWAN’s extensive experience of supporting seafarers through the unique challenges they face
• Delivered by experienced mental health professionals
• Grounded in best practice for promoting good mental health at sea
• Suitable for seafarers in the Merchant Navy and superyacht industries

Who is it for?

Our trainings are ideal for those who have roles supporting seafarers, such as shoreside staff, Wellbeing Champions, chaplains, welfare workers, and insurers – as well as crew themselves.

What modules are available?

Module 1: Introduction to Mental Health

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.

Module 2: Recognising Signs and First Response

Builds on Module 1’s 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.
