Seafarers often work long hours, far from their relatives, isolated in a multicultural, highly hierarchic micro-society. It often generates mental health problems which put lives, vessels, passengers, cargo, the environment and local coastal economies at risk. The PROMETHEAS project, funded by the Erasmus+ Programme, aims to tackle these challenges.
Project objectives
- Supporting the preservation and improvement of seafearers' mental health.
- Reducing bullying and other phenomena that have a negative impact on mental health in the maritime sector.
