At Sunshine Coast Support Services, we are passionate about helping individuals with challenging behaviours achieve their full potential. Our Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) practitioners are committed to creating person-centred strategies that foster independence, enhance well-being, and promote meaningful relationships.
What is Positive Behavioural Support (PBS)?
PBS is an evidence-based, compassionate approach that focuses on understanding behaviours and addressing the underlying reasons behind them. Rather than reacting to behaviours, we focus on proactive strategies that support positive change and empower individuals to thrive.
With PBS, we:
- Understand Behaviours: Identify the triggers and purposes of challenging behaviours.
- Promote Positive Change: Develop strategies that encourage alternative, constructive behaviours.
- Enhance Communication: Support individuals to express their needs and choices in ways that work for them.
- Foster Well-Being: Focus on creating safe, supportive environments that improve quality of life.
Our Person-Centred Approach
At Sunshine Coast Support Services, we tailor every aspect of our Positive Behavioural Support to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. Our PBS practitioners collaborate with families, caregivers, and support teams to:
- Understand Individual Needs: Conduct in-depth behavioural assessments to uncover the “why” behind behaviours.
- Co-Create Support Plans: Work with individuals and their support networks to design personalised strategies that align with their preferences and goals.
- Implement and Monitor Change: Introduce positive, evidence-based interventions and track progress to ensure success.
- Train and Empower Caregivers: Provide training and guidance to families and support teams, ensuring consistent and effective care.
