HeliOffshore Wellbeing (global)
Free digital wellbeing support for offshore helicopter maintenance teams
HeliOffshore Wellbeing is a trusted, free self-care and wellbeing app created for the people who keep offshore helicopter operations running safely every day - including mechanics, engineers, logistics staff, planners, and other onshore support teams.
Developed in partnership with HeliOffshore, the global safety organisation for the offshore helicopter industry, and Allaxa Aviation Psychology, the app provides clear, practical, evidence-informed guidance that fits the realities of safety-critical, high-pressure working environments.
By bringing calm, reliable wellbeing support into one place, the app helps people manage pressure earlier, stay well at work, and find the right support when needed - while strengthening workforce wellbeing without adding burden.
The app can be localised by offshore helicopter operators worldwide to reflect organisational support and signposting - while retaining consistent, trusted core guidance.
Available free on the Apple App Store and Google Play. No account is required to download or use the app.
Why this app exists
You want the best possible safety, performance, and wellbeing outcomes for your onshore teams - but the nature of offshore helicopter operations makes this challenging.
People working in onshore aviation support roles often face:
- physically demanding work in cold, wet, noisy, or time-pressured environments
- tight operational deadlines and high safety expectations
- irregular or shift-based working patterns
- responsibility for aircraft serviceability, coordination, and decision-making
- fatigue, stress, and limited recovery time during busy periods
When pressure builds, people don’t always know:
- whether what they’re feeling is 'part of the job' or a sign they need to act
- what they can realistically do to look after themselves during demanding shifts
- when and where to seek support - especially in a global, multi-site industry
This kind of uncertainty can delay early action, increase fatigue and stress, and place additional strain on individuals, teams, and organisations.
A calm, practical way to support people earlier
With the HeliOffshore Wellbeing app, you gain a simple, reliable way to support onshore teams - adding a mobile layer to how you already approach safety, wellbeing, and workforce care.
The app complements existing policies, training, and support structures by putting practical guidance directly into people’s hands - when they need it, wherever they are.
In practice, the app helps organisations to:
- support earlier awareness and self-care
- reduce stigma around wellbeing conversations
- reinforce existing safety and wellbeing messages
- complement current services, not replace them
And if you want to go further, offshore helicopter operators can localise the app with their own branded home page and signposting - helping teams find relevant internal and external support quickly and confidently.

Supporting people across the operational pathway
People don’t experience pressure or wellbeing challenges in a straight line. Needs change with workload, shift patterns, operational tempo, and life outside work.
HeliOffshore Wellbeing can support people at different points, including:
- Everyday operational pressure – practical guidance on stress, focus, sleep, and recovery during demanding work.
- Busy periods or transitions – support during roster changes, major maintenance activity, or sustained high workload.
- Alongside existing programmes – reinforcing messages from safety briefings, wellbeing initiatives, or occupational health input.
- After a difficult event or near-miss – helping people steady themselves, reflect, and access appropriate support if needed.
In each case, the app sits alongside existing systems - offering clarity, reassurance, and a safe starting point.
Why mobile apps work in safety-critical environments
Support works best when it’s available at the moment it’s needed - without friction.
Mobile apps are tools people already rely on every day. In aviation and engineering environments, they offer:
- privacy and discretion
- access outside office hours
- support that fits into short breaks or downtime
- information that remains available offline
Once downloaded, the app:
- stays with people
- can be accessed anytime, anywhere
- works without connectivity - important in hangars, workshops, or remote locations
It gives people one clear, trusted place to turn when something doesn’t feel right - in a format that feels familiar and practical.
Who the app is for - and who it isn’t
You can think of HeliOffshore Wellbeing as a pocket guide to staying well in a safety-critical role, designed for:
- onshore helicopter engineers, mechanics, and technicians
- logistics, planning, and coordination teams
- supervisors and managers supporting operational staff
- organisations responsible for workforce safety and wellbeing
The app is not a medical device and is not intended to:
- replace clinical assessment or treatment
- act as an emergency service
- monitor individuals or collect personal data
Instead, it sits alongside professional support - offering practical guidance, reassurance, and signposting.
How HeliOffshore Wellbeing works in practice
Inside the app, users find clear, practical content designed for real working conditions.
This includes guidance to help people:
- manage stress and stay focused under pressure
- cope with fatigue and shift-based work
- maintain healthy routines during demanding schedules
- communicate more effectively within teams
- build personal resilience over time
- find trusted wellbeing and crisis support when needed
Content is written in plain language and designed to be easy to dip into - even during busy days or short breaks.
Safe, private, and free to use
So you can share the app with confidence, it has been designed with safety and accessibility at its core:
- entirely free for users and organisations
- no contracts, no sign-up, no set-up
- no personal data collection, tracking, or profiling
- no ads or in-app purchases
- compatible with standard smartphone accessibility features
People can use the app discreetly, in complete privacy - even when offline.

Understanding the value
HeliOffshore Wellbeing is a small, predictable investment of time and attention that can unlock meaningful value over time.
It can help organisations to:
- reach more people, without buying or building a digital product
- support earlier action, before stress and fatigue escalate
- reduce duplication, by offering one trusted wellbeing resource
- reinforce existing safety and wellbeing strategies
- avoid the cost, risk, and maintenance burden of developing an app independently
Ultimately, the value lies in making trusted support easier to find - earlier, and in the flow of everyday work.

HeliOffshore Wellbeing supports sustainability in practical ways:
- For people – healthier, more supported teams
- For organisations – prevention, early support, and reduced pressure

The difference this app can make
When people in safety-critical onshore roles have access to clear, trusted wellbeing support, they are more likely to:
- recognise pressure earlier and take practical steps
