What is Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)?

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person-centred, evidence-based approach that helps us understand the reasons behind challenging behaviours and create a plan to address them. We focus on building communication and social skills, using positive reinforcement and proactive strategies so you or your loved one can feel supported and thrive.

Who is Positive Behaviour Support for?

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is for all ages and abilities where behaviours of concern are experienced. It’s also for families, carers, and support teams who want practical strategies to reduce these behaviours and improve wellbeing.

Who can you expect during your sessions?

When you work with us, we will:

  • Complete a thorough assessment to understand triggers, needs, and environmental factors.
  • Plan together with you, your family, and support team so everyone is on the same page.
  • Teach new skills like communication, coping, and social strategies.
  • Put proactive supports in place by adjusting environments and routines to prevent behaviours.
  • Provide training for carers and support teams so strategies are consistent everywhere.

Our sessions are practical, respectful, and focused on long-term positive change, not quick fixes.
