WildFire Wellbeing- Behaviour management consulting
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a set of research-based strategies used to increase quality of life and respond to challenging behaviour.
​
At WildFire, we believe that challenging behaviours occur due to a persons needs not being met and can be distressing and disruptive to the person and those around them.
​
We know that all behaviour has a message, and therefore the behaviour serves to communicate important things about a person, their needs, wants, health and happiness.
​
Often, challenging behaviours can be reduced by improving quality of life by building:
-
a sense of safety and predictability into the environment
-
choice and control into daily life
-
a range of meaningful activities to engage in
-
a sense of purpose
-
supportive relationships and friendships
-
strengths and interests into areas of knowledge and joy
-
skills and independence with supported learning
-
successful communication methods
-
a strong and collaborative team approach
​
Positive behaviour support is implemented within a team approach to:
-
Identify behaviours of concern and goals of intervention
-
Gather information to identify the factors surrounding the behaviourÂ
-
Improve quality of life
-
Using strategies to prevent confilct and triggers
-
Teach new skills
​Â
