  Brave Technology Coop is a multi-stakeholder platform cooperative based in Vancouver, B.C. We work with leaders in harm-reduction movements to reduce preventable deaths from opioid overdose. Our suite of tools allows people to be monitored for safety while they consume substances that place them at risk of overdose, no matter the circumstance or location. Our tools are utilized across North America and the United Kingdom. The Brave Coop envisions a world where every overdose is reversed. Where social connection reduces stigma and increases harm reduction practices across regional boundaries. We envision communities defined by compassion, where people feel safe and have access to the timely response they need when using drugs alone. Oona provides visionary leadership to the organization and translates that vision into program goals, campaign priorities, strategy, and funding.
