What is PBS?
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a proactive, evidence-based approach that helps people build better ways of responding to the world, while also supporting the people around them.
Instead of focusing only on “challenging behaviour,” PBS looks deeper.
​
It helps us understand what a person is trying to communicate, what’s triggering distress, and what positive strategies can help meet their needs in safer, more supported ways.

PBS isn’t just about reducing behaviours
It's about:
-
Promoting dignity and safety.
-
Strengthening relationships.
-
Building new skills.
-
Creating environments that set people up to thrive.
What does our PBS process involve?
At Well Life, we begin with an initial consultation and assessment.
From there, we develop a Positive Behaviour Support Plan that includes:
Client-centred planning
based on individual strengths, needs, and goals.
Functional Behaviour Assessment
to identify what’s driving certain behaviours.
Environment modifications
to reduce triggers and improve day-to-day experiences.
Skill-building strategies
to support regulation, communication, and autonomy.
Collaborative support
with families, carers, and staff.
Understanable, clear plans
with step-by-step strategies.
Ongoing reviews
and reporting to make sure appropriate supports continue.
We’re here for the long term,
not just a one-off appointment.
