Building Resilience: Spotting the behavioral signs of poor mental health

In times of high stress, many people are overwhelmed with negative feelings and concerns. Especially for seafarers, worrying situations may result in high pressure due to the demanding nature of their work onboard. These may not go away overnight and when situations get difficult and out of control, consequently impact individuals’ mental health.

The second edition of INTERTANKO’s ’’Crew Welfare Management and Mental Wellness’’ highlights the importance of spotting the early signs of distress. Don’t overlook the pressures on sea staff; take time to look out for your crew’s welfare and help them share their true feelings and thoughts

Embrace Empathetic Listening

The basic principle is to “seek to understand, before being understood”
  • Be non-judgmental – allow people to express their worries or stress
  • Give the person your undivided attention
  • Listen carefully (to feelings and facts)
  • Show concern by asking about their families and their wellbeing
  • Follow up, especially with those who show signs of weak coping ability

13 behavioral signs of poor mental health: Look out for your crew’s welfare
