The Importance of Mentorship for Crew Wellbeing

Presentation will start with a brief introduction to the work of ISWAN and Yacht Crew Help on crew welfare and wellbeing, including the different support services we provide to crew. They will then talk about the relationship between mentorship, peer-to-peer support and good leadership on board, and improved crew health, safety, and cohesion. Participants will be invited to think about current barriers/challenges to this and how to overcome these at both a personal and collective level.
