We ARE policespirit
I am Suzanna Hasnay, Founder and President of Fredericksburg, Virginia-based PoliceSpirit, LLC. We train in mindfulness-based strategies for performance, resilience and well-being primarily for law enforcement, public safety and security professionals. As a retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent with over 20 years of law enforcement experience, I am grateful to give back to my profession as a long-time teacher, facilitator and coach delivering science-supported training and education in the mindfulness arena. By learning about and engaging in the science and relevance of this work for public safety professionals, practicing the skills to build a growth mindset and enhancing the ability to work under pressure and with cumulative stress and trauma, we give ourselves the gift of a healthy mind and body. Healthy minds make healthy decisions on the job, at home and in the community we serve.
WHAT IS POLICESPIRIT
It is the path to being whole: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Research data shows stress injuries are inherent to careers in law enforcement and public safety. When we are overloaded with unmitigated occupational stress and trauma, we struggle with a dysregulated nervous system, have difficulty processing information efficiently, lose attention, emotionally react vs respond and get caught up in the chaos of thoughts and narratives in our minds. Add environmental, organizational and personal stressors to the mix, we end up making regrettable decisions about how to proceed that can change the trajectory of our lives physically, mentally and emotionally.
It is imperative for leaders working in high stress environments to understand, support and promote the whole health well-being of their workforce …and themselves…in order to build and sustain healthy and high functioning individuals, teams and agencies. And it begins with deep personal work, frank conversations about organizational systems and the willingness to affect change.
PoliceSpirit is a company dedicated to consulting with and educating law enforcement, public safety and other security professionals in mindfulness-based strategies for performance, resilience and well-being through training self-awareness, emotional regulation and cultivating compassion.
