At Dnipro State University of Internal Affairs, an interactive training session was held for trainees of the Center for Specialized Professional Training “Police Academy”, focusing on the development of coping strategies, resilience and psychological self-regulation skills.
The event was organized as part of the university’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the mental well-being of participants in the educational process.
During the training, participants practiced practical self-regulation techniques, worked on developing a positive mindset and explored the use of humor and teamwork as effective tools for maintaining psychological balance. Particular attention was given to mandala therapy, which helps reduce anxiety, restore inner harmony and foster self-reflection.
The training was moderated by Vladyslav Bidniak, who emphasized the effectiveness of autogenic training in relieving both physical and psychological tension. The trainees also learned and practiced the resource imagery technique, which enables individuals to consciously regulate their emotional state in stressful situations.
Participants actively engaged in practical exercises and discussed ways to apply the acquired knowledge during their studies, police service and everyday life. According to the trainees, the psychological techniques presented during the session are practical, flexible, easy to apply, and produce noticeable results in a short period of time.
The event was conducted as part of the “Psychological Practices Hub” project. According to Serhii Vyshnevskyi, Head of the Psychological Support Unit, the initiative aims to develop police officers’ skills in maintaining psychological stability through the application of modern psychological methods. These competencies contribute to greater psychological resilience, cognitive flexibility and sustained effectiveness in the performance of professional duties.
