Cadet Peer-to-Peer Support Groups

Being a maritime cadet brings its own set of worries and concerns.

Cadets are naturally concerned about passing their exams, but they also have concerns about meeting family expectations and whether they will get a job when they have done with their studies. Looking ahead they worry about their future mental health – how they will cope with a life at sea, being in a new job and what life will be like when they are separated from family and friends for months on end.

Our cadet Peer-to-Peer Support Groups follow on from our Wellness at Sea Maritime Schools Conferences and offer cadets a chance to chat with fellow students and recent graduates from across the world, sharing concerns and encouragement.
