PBS is a framework we use to improve the quality of life of individuals who show behaviours of concern. By improving quality of life, behaviours of concern naturally reduce. It concentrates on positive and proactive approaches to identify and remove triggers, as well as teaching the person other ways of communicating their needs. 

Our interventions are based on the evidence-based approach that improving a service user's quality of life will reduce behaviours of concern. It's based on the idea that 'happy people don't hit people' - if we can understand and meet the underlying needs behind behaviours of concern, the behaviour will cease to occur. 

To create behaviour change, it is important for us to create strong foundations. These foundations are focussed on creating skilled, compassionate and trauma-informed staff teams. These staff teams are confident in using proactive and preventative approaches to behaviours of concern, rather than concentrating on punishment and the use of restrictive practices. Our work helps to create a foundational shift in culture, to create trauma-informed and effective organisations. 

We work with a range of children and adults with a variety of needs including learning disabilities, ASD, ADHD and those who have adverse childhood experiences. If you're not sure if we're the right service for you, please reach out to us in the contact form and we'd be delighted to offer further support and guidance!
