How Positive Behaviour Support Training Supports Trauma-Informed Practice in Care

Image
When you support individuals with behaviours of concern, you are rarely dealing with behaviour alone. You are responding to lived experiences, unmet needs, and often unresolved trauma. Positive Behaviour Support Training helps you recognise this reality and respond in ways that are ethical, evidence-based, and genuinely person-centred.
