[October 2025] Watch the recording from this World Mental Health Day webinar to hear frontline insights from mental health providers, employers, P&I (protection and indemnity) clubs, and crew advocates on the realities of mental health at sea.
The panel shares practical interventions that work onboard, explores where gaps and barriers remain, and discusses how prevention, stigma reduction, and systemic change can move the industry from reacting to protecting seafarers’ mental health.
