    Suicide is, unfortunately, all too common across the world. Most of us will come into contact with friends, family or workmates who are feeling suicidal at some point in our lives. That's why it's so important for us all to have at least a base knowledge of suicide and what leads to suicidal behaviours.

    In this course, we will look at the main signs & symptoms of suicidal behaviour and emotional distress. We'll cover an effective action plan to help people when they're feeling suicidal, as well as useful referral options and ideas for self-care. This course is important for all workers.

    Mental health is as important as physical health in ensuring that the seafarers onboard can perform their duties efficiently and safely. It is essential then that a strong culture of mental health awareness and wellbeing is maintained on ships by managers and crew alike.

    Resilience is important to seafarers as it allows us to react in a healthy way to stressful situations. This, in turn, increases our decision-making capability when prevented by stressful situations. Making good decisions will always increase safety and lead to fewer accidents or incidents onboard.

    Seafarers are not immune to the negative effects of stress. In fact, the demanding nature of work and being away from their families make them more prone to stress, which when not managed properly can become a safety hazard. Thus, it is within the best interest of not only the individuals experiencing the stress, but also their peers, their leaders, and their employers to ensure that stress is limited to levels that are productive and beneficial.
