In this episode of Project Sapient, we dive deep into the realms of law enforcement and tactical psychology with Dr. Jennifer Prohaska. As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in neurorehabilitation, trauma, and critical incident response, Dr. Prohaska brings invaluable insights into the mental and emotional challenges faced by those in high-pressure roles.
Dr. Prohaska discusses her unconventional entry into the world of first responders and the unique qualities that define those who excel in high-risk environments. She elaborates on the importance of specialized training that focuses not only on tactical skills but also on enhancing psychological readiness to ensure optimal performance in stressful situations.
The episode also explores the concerning aspects of traditional policing roles and offers insights into how law enforcement agencies can integrate scientifically-backed methods to improve psychological resiliency and operational effectiveness. As a sought-after speaker and founder of Tactical Longevity, Dr. Prohaska expertise is reshaping the way agencies prepare their personnel for the unseen challenges of the job.

To us, the mohawk represents the outlier – the person who is not afraid to go against the grain, rise up for what they believe in, and stand tall in the face of adversity. Veterans, First Responders, and those who support them embody the mohawk. When you get a mohawk in support of veteran and first responder suicide prevention, you become a part of a movement that is greater than oneself.
22Mohawks is proud to assist veterans and first responders who need help navigating everyday life's struggles.
