About Vision Safety Solutions, Inc.

Multiple studies support that violence and trauma have very debilitating effects on children that may persist even through their adulthood. While everyone can try to prevent violence from occurring in our homes and families, community violence still affects and has damaging effects on everyone.

"PASSION IS WHAT LEAD US HERE"

Vision Safety Solutions Inc. has created a strategic and results-driven training program to assist police, community and school personnel to reduce the threat of community violence. Community groups, government officials, criminal justice professionals, working with school administrators, students, teachers and parents will create a much safer environment for everyone. Recognizing that each segment is important: each relying on the other for their own level of expertise but all too often, do not have the resources to provide all the training they would like, or funding to attend national conferences. Vision Safety Solutions Inc. was created to bring year-round, training to an office near you, thus creating "Training-on-demand," Vision Safety Solutions Inc. helps to empower kids, professionals, para-professionals and community members with information they need in pursuit of sound mental health, social emotional growth and safer environmental solutions, which allows everyone to work towards reducing community violence together.
