Empower. Heal. Rise.
DEVII — Digital Empowerment for Violence Intervention & Independence — is a survivor-centred support system designed to help people move from crisis toward stability, on their own terms and at their own pace.
A Positive Outcomes Alliance solution
A survivor-centred mission.
DEVII treats survivors as agents of their own future. The system organizes information, options and continuity, while qualified professionals review and support every step. Each participant controls their own consent, boundaries and pace — nothing moves forward without their say-so.
DEVII is developed under POA's human-supervised model: technology prepares and organizes; trained staff review, decide and accompany.
Intended outcomes
- Safety
- Housing
- Financial stability
- Child care
- Legal information
- Counselling
- Employment
- Community rebuilding
Support pathways.
Participant-controlled consent
Participants decide what is shared. Every permission can be limited, paused or withdrawn at any time.
Continuity summaries
Plain-language summaries participants review and correct before anything moves forward.
Plain-language options
Information and resources organized in clear, respectful language, prepared for review by qualified staff.
Human review of safety-sensitive items
Nothing safety-sensitive is actioned without review by a qualified professional.
Outcome tracking
Progress measured across safety, housing, finances, child care, legal information, counselling, employment and community rebuilding.
Safety guardrails.
DEVII is not an emergency service, counsellor, lawyer, social worker or autonomous decision-maker. It produces no risk scores, diagnoses, eligibility decisions, clinical advice, legal advice or automated recommendations. Qualified professionals retain control of all sensitive decisions, and each partner organization controls its own policies and data.
If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 if it is safe to do so. In Ontario, the Assaulted Women's Helpline is 1-866-863-0511.

DEVII is shown here as a product demonstration. A future production version would require isolated infrastructure, security controls, privacy and legal review, testing, training and a formal handover.
