Addressing the entire spectrum of human conflict. Vistelar empowers your team to safely and effectively identify, prevent, and mitigate all types of conflict, from simple disputes to physical violence.

“De-escalation is what we do and say to keep someone from jumping off a ledge. Non-escalation is what we do and say to keep them from climbing onto the ledge in the first place.”   - Vistelar Maxim

The Vistelar methodology focuses first on “non-escalation” with foundational teaching elements grounded in empathy and trauma informed principles, putting patient care at the center to improve everyday interactions before they escalate. The training also focuses on mental and physical pre-encounter preparation steps that are proven to help reduce the opportunities for patient or staff harm during response to moments of escalation or aggression.
