We are dedicated and offer a unique Positive Behaviour Support Services run by our team of forensic psychologists and behaviour support practitioners. FirstCare’s Positive Behaviour Support Services supports individuals who are living with disabilities, mental illness, drug and alcohol and other substances dependencies to encourage them and their significant others develop and implement positive behaviour support strategies with the goal of reducing behaviours of concern. This service includes the development of plans, strategies, training for plan implementation and mentoring to reduce challenging behaviours; and providing them educational and remedial strategies to encourage positive behaviour.

Each service is tailored personally to suit the unique needs of the individual. Our Behaviour Support Service supports children, teenagers and adults and their families and carers to:

  • understand the reason why the behaviour might be occurring
  • identify triggers that might be causing the behaviour
  • Learn skills in managing behaviour

    • FirstCare works in collaboration with you and the clinicians, helping you to improve your quality of life and the quality of your relationships with your significant others by:

  • including you in identifying risks that may be caused by behaviour and developing strategies in preventing or reducing the behaviours of concerns
  • working together to provide you with new life skills to manage your behaviour
  • supporting you with resources to support you and your significant others
  • we provide person-centred support plans and knowledge of practical ways you can support the person who experiences behaviour of concerns.
