Bethphage has a dedicated<\/span>, in-house<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>PBS team who provide training and support to staff teams and the people we support, and in addition they work alongside external professionals and families to reduce distress and improve quality of life for the person being supported.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A Positive Behaviour Support approach (PBS) aims to understand the reasons behind an individual\u2019s behaviours of concern and offer person-centred solutions to enable them to have a better quality of life. PBS is a scientific process which reduces behaviours of concern, incidents and the use of restrictive practices.\u00a0<\/p>\n For more information about our Specialist Services please contact:\u00a0<\/span>specialisms@bethphage.co.uk<\/a><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Find out more” open_toggle_text_color=”#94be31″ open_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” closed_toggle_text_color=”#94be31″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_text_color=”#94be31″ closed_title_font=”|800|||||||” body_text_color=”#293788″ background_enable_image=”off” custom_margin=”||32px|||” border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” border_width_all=”3px” border_color_all=”#293788″ border_color_bottom=”#293788″ box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}” box_shadow_vertical__hover_enabled=”off|desktop” box_shadow_blur__hover_enabled=”off|desktop” box_shadow_spread__hover_enabled=”on|hover” box_shadow_spread__hover=”-80px”] Referrals to the PBS team are allocated based on need, with either interim or comprehensive support being offered. Typically, interim support benefits those aiming to manage temporary difficult situations or modest areas of need, whereas comprehensive support offers longer term strategy planning and involvement for those with more complex needs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Positive Behaviour Support does not assume that a behaviour will cease. Its aim is reducing the likelihood of it happening, although behaviour can stop. However, this does not mean that the Positive Behaviour Support should be withdrawn. It should be reviewed and adapted to meet the new circumstances.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n We achieve this by:<\/strong><\/p>\n Our aspiration is to support people to meet their goals in a safe and productive manner, without relying on behaviours of concern, which they can replicate across settings and build upon long-term.<\/p>[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”28px||8px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” module_id=”mentalhealth” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-48px||85px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ link_font=”|800|||||||” custom_margin=”||-3px|||” custom_padding=”1px||32px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”] Needing support with your mental health is a common human experience.
