Chief Clinical Officer and Clinical Psychologist at MHSS.

As the maritime industry continues to strive for more diversity amongst its crews, Mental Health Support Solutions (MHSS) is pleased to announce the launch of its Female Ambassadors' Training Programme which has been designed to equip office workers, regardless of gender, to serve as mentors and allies for female officers and seafarers.

During the training, which is voluntary, office employees learn how to:

● Establish a bond of trust with their mentee, including active listening, empathy, and learning to create a safe space without judgment.

● Help their mentee navigate conflicts in a constructive way, and understand how to provide guidance and support as needed. This includes strategies for effective communication and conflict resolution.
