A meeting of the research group of the Department of Civil Law Disciplines and Psychology was held at DSUIA. The invited speaker was Liubov Sobol, a social counselling specialist with the Ukrainian Red Cross Society.
Personal resilience to stress is becoming increasingly important amid today’s challenges, including the war and ongoing psychological and emotional strain. Developing stress resilience is particularly important for future law enforcement officers, whose professional duties require them to act effectively in difficult and emotionally demanding situations.
This topic was discussed at a regular meeting of the research group of the Department of Civil Law Disciplines and Psychology, led by Professor Inna Shynkarenko. In their presentations, cadets from the Faculty for Training Specialists for Pre-Trial Investigation Bodies of the National Police of Ukraine examined the main factors contributing to stress resilience, the importance of emotional stability, and an individual’s capacity to adapt.
Particular attention was paid to the impact of wartime conditions on mental health. Air raid alerts, the sounds of explosions, a constant flow of information, and tragic news place considerable strain on the nervous system and highlight the need to develop psychological self-regulation skills.
The practical component of the meeting was a training session conducted by Liubov Sobol, a social counselling specialist with the Ukrainian Red Cross Society. Participants explored practical approaches to strengthening psychological resilience, restoring inner resources, and coping with the effects of stress.
Following the meeting, the research group members concluded that developing stress resilience and learning to use internal and external resources are important components of the professional training of future law enforcement officers.
