Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)
At Kennix Care Behavioural Services, we deliver Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) that is respectful, practical, and centred on the individual. PBS is a proven, evidence-based approach that looks beyond behaviours of concern to understand their underlying causes. Instead of simply trying to control behaviour, we focus on reducing distress, building positive skills, and improving overall quality of life.
We deliver Positive Behaviour Support that puts People First
We support people of all ages—from children and adolescents to adults/older adults—across a wide range of needs and environments. Our Behaviour Support Practitioners work closely with families, carers, educators, support workers, and allied health professionals to develop personalised behaviour support plans that are proactive, strengths-based, and focused on meaningful goals.
