Hostage Support & Detainee Resolution

Strategic Structure. Real-Time Execution. Sustainable Recovery.

Our Approach

Raven Rae Resilience (RRR) provides confidential, compassionate, and expert-led assistance in cases involving unlawful detention and hostage scenarios. Our expertise is rooted in practical experience accumulated over the years, most recently demonstrated during a high-risk mission in 2024. During this event, our Director, Brant Lavery, successfully led the mission to secure the release of his father, Canadian David Lavery, who was unlawfully detained by the Taliban for 77 days.


We leverage our bespoke, hard-earned expertise to support families, organizations, and institutions in navigating the complex and often opaque world of international detentions. We do this with unwavering integrity, strategic insight, and a humane approach.
