enCourage is committed to not just responding to power-based personal violence, but ending it. We're thrilled to share that we've partnered with HTI Labs and today we rolled out their PAVE system to screen survivors, connect them to community partners, and gather data to strengthen our services.About HTI Labs, "We fight human trafficking and sexual & domestic violence using data-driven research and technology.
