Yachting is trying to implement the same sort of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) that the corporate world has offered its employees for decades.

âThis investment in the start is to help crew understand the environment is valuable,â he said. âSubstance abuse is not the cause; itâs the result, hence the need for access to support. Itâs an investment in crew.â
