Resilience & Psychological First Aid For Yachts
Resilience First Aid (RFA) is a proactive approach to mental health, designed to equip yacht crew with the skills to prevent burnout, manage stress, and strengthen mental resilience.
Psychological First Aid (PFA) is an
immediate, compassionate response to mental distress after a crisis,
support each other emotionally, reduce trauma impact, and promote recovery
after major incidents.
Medical First Aid & Planning for Yachts
This course is designed to equip yacht owners & crew with essential first aid skills and the knowledge to set up a well-stocked and effective medical kit. Whether you're preparing for remote cruising or need to update your onboard medical resources, this course ensures you’re ready for any medical emergency.
Yachts operate in remote locations, often far from immediate medical help.
Adventure Preparation for Remote Environments
When you venture into remote environments preparation is everything. The Adventure Ready Program equips leaders, yacht crew, expedition teams, and outdoor professionals with the medical skills, resilience training, and leadership strategies
needed to handle emergencies, adapt under pressure, and thrive in extreme environments.
