Introduction. Work-related stress depletes the resources of law enforcement employees, leading to fatigue. This highlights the importance of implementing fatigue prevention measures that aim to unlock employees’ resource potential — specifically, their available recreation and recovery resources. The study aims to develop and describe a resource-focused counseling model for preventing fatigue in law enforcement employees. In this article, fatigue is defined as an adverse psychological state, manifested in tiredness, weakness, reduced energy, emotional instability, diminished activity, and lowered readiness for prolonged work. Materials and Methods. The authors present an original resource-focused counseling model designed to prevent fatigue by unlocking employees’ recreational and recovery resources, based on the concept of the employee’s ‘anthropological ideal’. Results. The resource-focused counseling model comprises five steps: (1) assessing the current level of the employee’s fatigue, (2) unlocking the employee’s motivational resources aimed at improving their current fatigue level, (3) expanding the ‘resource map’ to identify current (already used) and potential resources for fatigue prevention, (4) determining time limits for using personal resources, and learning to allocate time for recreation and recovery, and (5) the ‘progress ladder’ — focusing on the employee’s perceptions of engagement in activities across different periods of the employee’s life and professional path. Conclusion. Fatigue prevention should form an integral part of psychological support within law enforcement agencies. Unlocking both current and potential recreation and recovery resources is likely to enhance law enforcement employees’ moral and psychological readiness to perform operational and service tasks under both routine and extraordinary conditions, while maintaining their professional and psychological wellbeing.
