Mental Health Awareness Among Seafarers

WHERE THINGS STAND

Seafaring comes with unique challenges impacting mental health. From being weeks away from loved ones, adhering to strict schedules, to coping with life at sea, these are just a few difficulties seafarers face.

To explore and address the multitude of factors, we're happy to launch our interview series, SeaThrive. The first part opens with an insightful conversation with Pam Kern MS, LCSW, a former seafarer, U.S. licensed trauma psychotherapist, and Director, Maritime Mental Health Services at Port Medical Management, LLC, who points out the current state of seafarers' well-being. An advocate for systemic change, she dives into how far the maritime industry has come and the challenges to look out for.

Listen, share, and help us raise awareness!
