The Mission to Seafarers recognises that there is a high risk of suicide at sea and we want to ensure our teams are confident talking about suicide. We know crew have less access to help when they are at sea. Poor connections, limited awareness of signposting services, and limited supported networks onboard exacerbate feelings of loneliness and isolation in their immediate surroundings. Whilst suicide has always been a major concern for seafarers the Covid-19 global pandemic exacerbated triggers causing symptoms that lead to thoughts of suicide. Indefinite time on board, restrictions on crew changes, financial uncertainty for crew on board and on shore. It is imperative that we address this silent killer, as the UK P&I club stated in 2017 ‘Suicide rates among seafarers suffering from poor mental health have more than tripled since 2014’.The Mission to Seafarers has a long and solid history providing seafarers with the greatest degree of welfare. SafeTALK will part of this. It is time to talk, ask, listen, and Keep Safe in our communities, at sea and on land. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/para%C3%B1aque/safetalk-suicide-alertness-for-everyone-manila/100002002015532350 - **Event Categories**: workshops, health-wellness, mental-health - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Parañaque - **state**: MM - **country**: Philippines - **location**: OWWA Seafarers Welfare Center - **lat**: 14.5295079 - **long**: 120.9854816 - **full address**: OWWA Seafarers Welfare Center, cor Bradco Avenue, Parañaque, Philippines ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: SafeTALK - Suicide Alertness for Everyone - Manila - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/016f2f8dfad666887696e3af1821fb205507d3b82d0d5e0440a6b50b4ac69e04-rimg-w1200-h600-dc283888-gmir.jpg?v=1790112838 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is SafeTALK - Suicide Alertness for Everyone - Manila being held? - **A:** SafeTALK - Suicide Alertness for Everyone - Manila takes place on Wed, 30 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 am to Wed, 30 Sep, 2026 at 12:00 pm at OWWA Seafarers Welfare Center, cor Bradco Avenue, Paranaque, Philippines. - **Q**: Who is organizing SafeTALK - Suicide Alertness for Everyone - Manila? - **A:** SafeTALK - Suicide Alertness for Everyone - Manila is organized by The Mission to Seafarers. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
