Been a tough week on a lot of us. #OfficerWellness #mindfulness #resiliency #Optimism

Piper and I stopped by Valhalla Forge to visit with several #VBPD Officers building knives with relics from such materials as the #WorldTradeCenter placed in the handle. Piper saw her friend Lilly #OfficerWellness #mindfulness #resiliency #optimism #rescuedogs #servicedogs

Piper and I had a great time filming a recruiting video for the department this morning. #OfficerWellness #mindfulness #resiliency Virginia Beach Police Department #rescuedogs #servicedogs

Honored to talk about #officerwellness, #resilience and #mindfullness this morning at FBI NAA Virginia Chapter First Line Supervisor School at the VSP training academy. Great group of new Sergeants from across the state including 4 from Virginia Beach Police Department

Employee wellness & support, especially in a high stress/high-risk job like law enforcement, is so important. That's why the #VBPD continues to develop programs and resources for our department members.

Grateful for all the #FirstResponders working today to keep us safe #OfficerWellness #mindfulness #resiliency #optimism #VBPD

Yesterday I was honored to teach at our 73rd Academy. Each recruit was presented with a brain shaped stress ball to not only help with current stress but as a reminder to take care of their brain throughout their career. #VBPD #OfficerWellness #mindfulness #resiliency #optimism

I drove by this house and saw this last week. I thought it was funny but it reminded me of a line in the attached song that I co-wrote in my Nashville Songwriter days “everybody needs a hand to hold when they don’t feel strong enough”. Be human be kind reverbnation.com/michaelgresham…

It is with bittersweet sentiment that we bid farewell to Chief Wellness Officer Michael B Gresham & Piper (+ Piper) as they enter a new chapter with VA State Police. We are so grateful for Mike's dedication to the Health & Wellbeing of our officers during his time with the #VBPD.
