Social Wellbeing (WeCare)

Who is the course for? 

This eLearning course is aimed at Seafarers looking to balance positive mental health with managing long distance relationships and social media usage. 

Is previous experience required? 

You do not need prior knowledge or experience to complete this course. 

How will the course benefit me? 

Long distance relationships can be challenging. Communicating across time zones or accessing data can have a negative impact on our mental health. This course provides the knowledge and tools to manage long-distance relationships with confidence. If we feel happy in our relationships, we can feel confident in ourselves and pursue our goals.

How will the course benefit my company? 

Crew safety is paramount, and research shows social media usage and maintaining long distance relationships impacts their mental and physical health. Both have the power to affect our mood and the way we manage our safety at work. The Social Wellbeing course provides a platform for crew to share their concerns and use methods to maintain wellness at sea. In turn a positive onboard culture creates a safe environment for crew.

What standards are referenced in the course? (This may not be applicable)  

Our courses have been developed by qualified psychologists and behaviour specialists in order to provide safe and sound guidance to seafarers. 

Is there an assessment? 

No. Throughout the course you will receive questions on how you maintain your mental health. On completion your answers and WeCare resources will be emailed to you, along with your personalised WeCare Certificate.
