Crew Conversations: Real Chats About Mental Health At Sea
Join Captain Kelly Gordon, founder of Yachtie Minds Matter for an open, judgment-free conversation about the realities of working at sea. Through personal stories, practical advice, and audience discussion, the panel will explore resilience, leadership, communication, burnout, conflict, career growth, and the everyday challenges that rarely get discussed, but impact every vessel.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to submit anonymous questions before and during the session, creating a safe space to ask the questions many crew members think, but are often hesitant to say out loud. No topic is off limits.
Whether you're new to the industry or a seasoned captain, you'll leave with fresh perspectives, practical tools, valuable resources, and the reminder that the strongest crews are built through honest conversations and mutual support.
