What Is Positive Behaviour Support

What Is Positive Behaviour Support?

"Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is more than just reducing risks of harm—it’s about creating meaningful change in someone’s life. 🌱

At its core, PBS is built on understanding why behaviours occur, identifying unmet needs, and creating environments where individuals feel empowered to succeed.

Here’s the PBS approach in three simple steps:
1️ Assess the ‘why’ behind the behaviour (Functional Behaviour Analysis).
2️ Develop strategies that focus on strengths and skill-building.
3️ Empower individuals to lead a meaningful, fulfilling life by focusing on connection, respect, and collaboration, PBS shifts the focus from ‘fixing behaviours’ to enabling growth.
