Nowadays, during wartime, seafarers and their families face more and more serious emotional challenges. Prolonged stays away from home, anxiety about their families, constant uncertainty – all this increases stress and requires special attention to psychological well-being. While the seafarers are on the voyage, their families in Ukraine daily worry about their safety and lives, and the seafarers, in turn, always think about their beloved ones.
Recognising these difficulties, the Marine Transport Workers' Trade Union of Ukraine provides comprehensive support to its members and their families, helping them to overcome psychological stress.
What assistance does the MTWTU provide?
- Practical seminars and trainings with professional psychologists (activities aimed at improving the mental well-being and teaching emotional resilience techniques in difficult situations).
- Individual counselling (seafarers and their families can contact professional psychologists cooperating with the MTWTU for confidential support in case of need to overcome stress, anxiety, emotional burnout or family problems).
- Informational support (MTWTU provides useful materials on maintaining psychological health, building harmonious family relationships, and coping with anxiety).
You are not alone – MTWTU is by your side!
