One in five Australians experience a mental illness in any year

Fishers are enduring levels of psychological distress almost double
that of the general population

Men are less likely to seek help than women

HELP TO RAISE AWARENESS AND RAISE FUNDS

The harsh reality for our Tasmanian seafood industry is that health and wellbeing is often neglected.
And to make matters worse, there is no dedicated, on the ground mental health support that specifically targets Tasmanian fishers, processors and marine farmers.
The Tasmanian seafood industry wants to make a difference. 
To date we have raised over $50,000 and are well on the way to making a meaningful difference for industry. 

​TSIC and RAW Tas have commenced a project to address:
1) dedicated on the ground support for seafood operators, delivered through the RAW Outreach Program; and.
2) relevant educational resources to encourage fishers to look out for other fishers, and mates to look out for their mates and to seek further support if needed.

We need to raise awareness. We need to drown the stigma around this issue in order to keep help our members Stay Afloat.
To achieve this, WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
Please get behind #drownthestigma and put the bumper sticker on your car or wheelhouse.
​Look out for your mates, and keep health and wellbeing on the agenda.

Regards,
Julian Harrington
