Why this course?
Supporting someone who displays behaviours of concern requires more than responding in the moment. It requires an understanding of why behaviours occur and how support can be adapted to meet the person’s underlying needs.
How does it work?
This one-day, face-to-face workshop introduces participants to the principles of Positive Behaviour Support through a person-centred, neurodevelopmental, and trauma-informed lens.
Delivered by experienced SAL Consulting clinicians, the course explores the relationship between trauma, brain development, behaviour, and environment—helping participants move beyond managing behaviour to understanding what the behaviour is communicating.
Topics include:
The principles of Positive Behaviour Support
Understanding the neurodevelopmental impact of trauma
Developing a holistic profile of the person
Assessing behaviours of concern and understanding their function
Behaviour formulation and identifying contributing factors
Practical, preventative strategies that support safety, regulation, and skill development
Participants will apply these concepts through discussion, practical examples, and real-world scenarios that reflect the complexity of contemporary human services practice.
