Here you’ll find a wide range of free materials that might help with something that’s bothering you, give tips and ideas on how to prevent problems cropping up in the first place. In the short videos, fishers and marine farmers talk about challenges they have faced, and what you can do to keep healthy. They aim to provide reassurance that if you do find yourself struggling, you’re not alone and there is light at the end of the tunnel. We’ll keep adding to this library of resources over time, so it’s worth checking in every now and then to see what’s new.

The new videos in the series each cover a key issue in the industry: Leadership at Sea, Conflict and Anger Management and Drugs & Alcohol, and provide practical advice and tips from experienced fishers.
