The Way We Work
Nothing About Me Without Me!
The person is at the centre of everything we do and is informed and included.
The Way We Work
Trauma Informed Approaches
Understanding that our past experiences impact how we respond to and interact with others.
Making sure a person feels safe and that they belong is important when considering a good life and behaviour support.
The Way We Work
Quality of Life
The primary aim of Positive Behaviour Support is to:
1. Focus on improving a person’s Quality of Life.
If people are living a good life, doing the things they enjoy and having a valued role, they are less likely to engage in behaviours of concern.
The Way We Work
Every Behaviour is a Communication
