A supported housing building in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside was struggling with a rise in fatal overdoses. They made the decision to install Brave Buttons in each of its 20 units.
The project quickly made a big impact on the community’s safety and well being. In the first 105 days, the buttons were pressed 472 times, instantly connecting residents with staff support.
A Vancouver-based low-barrier supportive housing building installed Brave Buttons in all room units to connect its residents to caring staff during times of need. In the first two quarters, residents used the buttons 488 times.
Using the Brave chatbot, staff easily recorded notes and details about button requests in real-time, creating rich data about the nature of emergency services provided. Aside from overdose reversal and substance use support, buttons were also used to request support for unsafe guests, personal safety, and neighbors in trouble.
REACH Centre is an urgent and primary care center that supports community health and well being through primary health care, and social programs, and educational services. Staff workload and stress levels were rising due to the overdose crisis.
REACH installed Brave Sensors in all four of its public washrooms, immediately improving patient and staff well being.
