For over 30 years, Vistelar has worked with healthcare professionals and organizational teams with the goal of creating workplaces incompatible with violence. And we LOVE hearing from them!

“Treat People Right” is more than a training slogan…. Vistelar embodied this as they collaborated with us. From the initial needs-assessment and focus groups with my staff, through the trainer/facilitators that were familiar with both correctional and education settings,
Vistelar just got it.”
