What is PBS?
A plain-English introduction to Positive Behaviour Support and how it puts people first.
Behaviour is communication
Behaviour is a means of communication. It tells us something about what a person needs, feels or finds hard.
We look for the reason
Positive Behaviour Support looks for the reason behind behaviour instead of only trying to stop it.
We build on strengths
Plans focus on skills, choices and supports that help a person thrive in the life they want.
Quality of life comes first
When people are thriving, risky behaviours pop up less. Safety and dignity go together.
