what is Positive Behaviour Support?
Positive behaviour support (PBS) is an ethical and empathic approach to supporting individuals whose behaviour is causing them distress or harm, is harmful to those around them, or is preventing them from doing things that are important to them such as attending school, work or community programs.
At Activ8 Mind, we use a trauma informed and neurodiversity affirming approach to providing PBS. This means that we understand how trauma affects a person's mental health, behaviour and overall wellbeing, and we utilise trauma informed assessment tools and intervention strategies to reduce the risk of re-traumatisation. For people who have experienced trauma, our NDIS behaviour support practitioners will prioritise ensuring the person feels safe and secure in their physical and social environments, and ensuring we have a strong trusting relationship between the person and their support network before implementing behaviour change strategies.

Our Approach
Our team of practitioners are allied health professionals who specialise in positive behaviour support. We prioritise using a trauma informed and neurodiversity affirming approach. This means that we understand how trauma affects a person's mental health, behaviour and overall wellbeing, and we utilise trauma informed assessment tools and intervention strategies to reduce the risk of re-traumatisation. Together, we provide –
Person-centred, evidence-based strategies & support
We look for the reasons behind a person’s behaviours of concern, taking note of triggers and environmental and societal factors. We create personalised behaviour support plans with proactive and response strategies and progress measures that help people achieve their personal goals.
Trauma informed and neurodiversity affirming support
We take time to build trusting relationships and prioritise establishing physical and emotional safety for the participant. We celebrate diverse ways of being and never seek to suppress neurodivergent traits with positive behaviour support, and we do not support or encourage the restriction of self-regulating behaviours such as stimming, self-talk or use of fidget or sensory tools.
Collaboration with care teams, families, and informal supports
We know that collaboration is key to successful outcomes. We work closely with care teams, parents, family members and informal supports, providing psychoeducation and personalised training / coaching. This enhances understanding and helps guide the consistent implementation of strategies.
Face to face support in the locations that matter most
We offer face to face support in NW, NE, West and North Melbourne so we can work with people in the locations that they spend their time in / want to spend more time in. This can include home, school, shops, local community spaces.
