Call for crew welfare training

摘要

Crews need training in mental health awareness, according to Sophia Bullard, crew welfare director at UK P&I Club. Despite a welcome increase in talk shore-side on mental health awareness, Bullard stressed that the industry needed to "transform dialogue" into practical solutions for crew. "This should take various forms, including screening tools, training programmes, and self-help techniques," she suggested. A number of studies have served to increase conversation around seafarers' mental health.
