Psychological Wellbeing at Sea

Psychological wellbeing is about being well psychologically, which means that we can function well,
we feel generally good about ourselves and about life, we feel a sense of life satisfaction, a sense of
purpose and a sense that our lives are on the right track. Psychological wellbeing is beneficial for our
overall health and can even mean that we live longer.

This self-help guide aims to explain what positive mental
health and psychological wellbeing are, help seafarers to recognise the risks to
wellbeing that they may face, and provide some practical
ideas about how seafarers can maximise their psychological wellbeing.
