BRAVE-20: skills, practice and proof.

The CW360 source collection uses BRAVE to connect a teachable skill, a staff behavior and evidence of real-world practice. The naming differs across supplied versions.

Read the version before adopting the labels.

This comparison preserves the source differences. CW360 has not been assigned a newly invented, blended BRAVE acronym in this website build.

What is shared across the versions.

Name a practical skill, rehearse it, connect it to daily functioning and document a next step. The youth version adds a phase-and-portfolio emphasis; the earlier guide describes client curriculum, staff culture and documentation/fidelity as three linked uses.

Bring the model into real operation.

Define the receiving organization, authority, scope, people, tools and review evidence before adopting or launching a service.
