Small safety buttons designed for supportive housing, veteran housing, emergency shelters, and complex care environments. Brave Buttons keep residents safe by allowing them to connect with staff when they need care.
In some areas, nearly half of overdose deaths occur in public housing. Building managers need solutions that protect residents and staff.
*Impactable X (October 2021), Brave Social Impact Report
The Brave Buttons System includes three basic parts: Buttons, Hubs, and Responder Phones.* All three parts work together to get a signal from the resident or visitor pressing a button to a staff member or peer responder via the Responder Phone.
*Responder Phones are provided by the client.

“[Brave Buttons] have provided a new level of safety in the building.”
“When residents press the button, they do it knowing that they aren’t being judged, but that they are being loved.”
"[The Brave system is] incredible. I just love the peace of mind it’s given me, especially on graveyard [shifts]. It’s given the whole building more of a sense of security."
Brave works hand-in-hand with your team to provide remote setup and implementation support to help you get your Brave Buttons up and running once they arrive. We break installation down into four phases.

Brave recognizes the importance of a system like this being dependable and we take steps to mitigate any causes for failure. While nothing is ever 100% effective, we work to ensure that these alerts are as reliable as we can make them.
Lost, stolen or destroyed hardware will need to be replaced at their current replacement cost.
Faulty hardware will be replaced at no cost. Brave may opt to replace hardware to ensure the most efficient and up-to-date system.
The yearly fee is a subscription fee for the device and supporting service. It covers regular over-the-air improvements, new features, updates and bug fixes, as well as support and maintenance.
The initial fee covers remote installation, setup and configuration of the system, and initial testing to ensure the system is functioning properly.
The Designated Responder could go to the Button's location, say that they are responding to a Button press, and ask if anyone needs support.
No, we never automatically send anything to 911.
We can send alert messages as SMS texts to anything that can send or receive text messages. If a tablet is hooked up to the phone number where alerts are sent, then it may work. A landline will NOT work, as it cannot receive SMS texts. If the computer is hooked up to a phone line (like VoIP) then it might work, but only if the connection allows for texts to be sent from the computer as well. Email will NOT work, and neither will an existing security system.
Alerts are sent to a designated responder device, usually a Responder Phone. If there is no response from the responder device, the backup phone number will be notified. There can be more than one backup number.
No, the alert messages that are sent as SMS texts to Responder Phones cannot be customized at this time.
No, Brave does not physically install the Buttons. We do provide remote installation support to walk you through the easy installation process.
No. You will need to provide the Responder Phone that SMS text alerts are sent to. You can use any phone for this, as long as it can send and receive text messages.
The Buttons System comes with its own cellular internet connection.
No. Buttons are fixed to static locations in each room and/or common area of a building.
Most locations do not require Wi-Fi or internet access. We will confirm this when you place your order.
