We understand the critical importance of mental health, especially for those in high-stress environments like yacht crewing. Our mission to support the mental well-being of yacht crew members through proactive fundraising efforts leads us to partner with organisations like ISWAN, which operates Yacht Crew Help.
This partnership allows us to extend our commitment beyond advocacy, directly assisting in the provision of essential mental health resources and support systems. Through this collaboration, we aim to create a safer, healthier maritime community where every crew member has access to the help they need, regardless of where they are in the world.
Together with ISWAN, we are dedicated to making a significant impact in the lives of those who keep the yachting industry thriving.
How Yacht crew Help can help you.
Supporting the Mental Well-being of Yacht Crews
In the unique and often secluded world of yacht crewing, maintaining mental health can be as challenging as it is crucial. Yacht Crew Help provides invaluable resources and support to these professionals, addressing key mental health challenges.
Everyday Challenges at Sea
Yacht crews face unique pressures, from isolation and long working hours to the lack of a regular support network. Yacht Crew Help offers a range of self-help resources tailored to manage these everyday stressors effectively.
Tackling Bullying and Harassment
The close quarters and hierarchical nature of yacht crews can sometimes lead to bullying and harassment. The charity offers guidance and support to crew members, helping them navigate these difficult situations.
Addressing Sexual Harassment and Assault
Sexual harassment and assault are serious issues within the yacht crew community. Yacht Crew Help provides crucial support and resources for crew needing help far from home.
Combating Substance Misuse
Substance misuse is another challenge faced by some yacht crew members. The organisation provides non-judgmental support and practical help for those looking to overcome substance-related issues.
Through dedicated support and comprehensive resources, Yacht Crew Help is making a significant difference in the lives of yacht crews worldwide. Their commitment not only helps individuals manage and overcome mental health challenges but also contributes to a healthier, safer working environment at sea.
