MARITIME & OFFSHORE

The psychological cost of living at sea.

20%

of seafarers reported suicidal ideation in the 2 weeks prior; — not a mental health statistic alone. An acculturation statistic.

ITF / Yale, Lefkowitz et al., 2019

Seafarers are among the most globally mobile — and most psychologically isolated — workers in the world. Months of deployment, multicultural crew dynamics, family separation, and the specific burden of confinement at sea create a psychological profile that standard mental health training doesn't address.I offer specialist training for maritime organisations on acculturation, multicultural crew dynamics, and the psychological wellbeing of internationally deployed seafarers.
