Mind matters

North P&I Club has launched its new “Mind Matters” campaign, with the International Seafarers’ Welfare and Assistance Network. The new campaign aims to raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing at sea. It provides North P&I Club’s members and their crew with a number of resources and support materials to address their emotional wellbeing at sea and to provide guidance on where to access additional help if needed. This includes a confidential helpline, Mind Call, which is available to crew on board North-entered vessels 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Mind Call team speaks a number of languages, making the experience as comfortable as possible for seafarers. Seafarers can also access the helpline through email and live chat at www.mindcall.org.
