Abstract
This chapter examines how a nation-state and the global maritime industry can be seen promoting seafarers' mental health by integrating mental health to the standards of maritime education. Mental health promotion refers to multi-level strategies that aim to produce positive contributions to mental health such as through formal education for workers operating in highly stressful work environments such as seafarers. Examining studies on mental health of seafarers, evidence shows that promoting mental health of seafarers through education might be needed to help seafarers due to poor mental health outcomes when working as a seafarer. The promotion of mental health through education of seafarers is anchored to the potential of integrating human rights and human rights law to maritime standards. By doing this, this chapter aims to contribute to the promotion of mental health in seafaring as well as to initiatives integrating human rights law to maritime standards.
