SEAFARERS' CLUB

1. Introduction

Seafarers are one of the most vulnerable professional groups, facing numerous physical, emotional, and psychological challenges. Long voyages, isolation from family, stressful onboard conditions, and high demands on physical endurance make seafarers' health a top priority for the international community. The goal of this program is to create a mechanism for shore-based support for seafarers aimed at improving their physical and mental well-being by implementing modern solutions in the field of health and wellness. At its core, the program leverages services and products from Mama San, developed specifically for seafarers. The program will be implemented through a network of Seafarers' Wellness Centers in collaboration with international maritime unions.

2. Need for Seafarers' Support

Life at sea is fraught with unique challenges, including:

• Long working shifts and physical strain. The job of a seafarer requires high endurance and concentration, which leads to significant physical and psycho-emotional stress.
• Psychological and emotional stress. Isolation, limited communication with loved ones, and life in confined spaces lead to chronic stress and emotional burnout.
• Health risks. Limited access to medical services onboard, sleep disorders, chronic fatigue, and harsh environmental conditions exacerbate health issues. Seafarers are at increased risk of depression, anxiety disorders, and professional burnout, which reduces productivity, increases the risk of accidents, and diminishes overall quality of life.

3. Role of Mama San's Services and Products in Improving Seafarers' Well-being

The services and products from Mama San provide comprehensive solutions for maintaining the physical and mental health of seafarers. These include products and methods specifically designed for this profession, helping to effectively address seafarers' primary challenges:
