The system may see individual incidents while the perpetrator is creating a pattern.

Frontline reality
Professionals often work with limited time and incomplete information. BRAVE™ is designed around real encounters where pattern recognition, effective questions, and informed observation matter.
Informed professional judgment
Survivors may present in many ways. Professional observation must make room for complexity rather than rely on a single expected response.
Professional judgment should not depend upon whether someone behaves like our stereotype of a victim.
The cost of late detection
A connected view helps professionals recognize that separate encounters may relate to one continuing pattern.
Each professional may see one piece. The survivor may be experiencing one continuing pattern.
Who we train
