Wellness by Learning Seaman is the first worldwide platform-application dedicated to seafarers wellbeing, mental health and resilience onboard. It’s a lifeline for those who dedicate their lives to the maritime industry. It’s an all-in-one platform that consists of a wide range of features such as peer-to-peer chat, mental health awareness, wellness and self-development, guided meditation, socializing tools such as cognitive and ice-breaking games, fitness and yoga, nutrition tips, calm and therapeutic music, and sleep tools, so that seafarers can develop a culture of well-being at sea. Τhe aim is to offer seafarers their own tools which will help them develop emotional resilience and manage stress, especially that brought on by the unique working conditions, such as social isolation and blurry boundaries between living and working, in order to complete their tasks on board more efficiently. Wellness by Learning Seaman aims to provide a safe and confidential space where seafarers can access resources, guidance, and support to address their mental health needs. Its educational aspect contributes to personal growth and self-esteem and fosters a greater sense of purpose, satisfaction, and life fulfillment.
Last but not least, Learning Seaman has been approved by Rightship and is a proud member of their Zero Harm Innovation Partnership program.
Our vision is to make a profound difference in the lives of seafarers by improving their mental health and resilience and incentivise them to spend their free time onboard creatively!
We believe that together we can make a profound difference in the lives of many seafarers, improving mental health outcomes and fostering a more compassionate world which we all deserve!
