About Positive Behaviour Support

Brightwater’s positive behaviour support services are an evidence-based approach to improving a client’s quality of life by understanding why they engage in concerning behaviours. The goal is to help address unmet needs and build skills to reduce behaviours that can be volatile, aggressive, hostile or physically violent. Positive behaviour support services include:

  • Specialist assessment
  • Behaviour support plans
  • Improving relationships
  • Identifying and addressing restrictive practices.
