Press Article: Seafarer mental health - taking a holistic approach

Yves Vandenborn, Director of Loss Prevention, says improving the mental health of seafarers is critical but cannot be done in isolation. It needs to be part of a holistic approach to ensuring their overall wellbeing, which includes a diverse range of physical, emotional and organisational factors. 

Yves' comments have been published in a recent article for The Maritime Executive, available on its website. In the article he looks at the different elements that can impact a seafarer's wellbeing, including diet, exercise and social support.

His comments reflect the recent special edition of Standard Safety which used a mix of articles and practical advice on physical, mental and social wellbeing to provide a comprehensive approach to crew welfare. This is available to download on the right.
