Superyacht mental health support
Supporting the mental health of yacht crewmembers
MedAire's emotional support solution offers both preventive and responsive strategies for managing mental health on board.
Living and working on a superyacht in close quarters can create a challenging environment. MedAire supports crewmembers to develop their resilience, faced with such challenges as:
- Isolation and loneliness
- Emotions related to accidents affecting colleagues
- Culture shock and cross-cultural transition, personally and professionally
- Marital and family conflict
- Substance abuse or mis-use
- Anxiety and fear about safety for self and others (i.e.: loved ones in home country)
Structured counselling for yacht crewmembers
Designed specifically for superyacht crew, MedAire’s Emotional Support services assist Captains and their crewmembers to deal with psychological and emotional issues. Accessed via the same MedAire phone number, crew members can communicate in the language they are most comfortable speaking, with 60+ languages available.
Why choose MedAire's Emotional Support?
HOLISTIC APPROACH TO HEALTH: Physical and emotional support issues can often be interlinked, with MedAire’s medical oversight, crew members can build a complete treatment plan
FULLY PACKAGED: Crewmembers may not have emotional support provisions in their personal insurance policies, making the MedAire service easier to access
NO APPROVAL REQUIRED: MedAire’s Emotional Support does not require captain’s approval, which can prevent crew members from reaching out.
