CBChange provides a range of Therapeutic Behaviour Support Services, inclusive of Positive Behaviour Support, for people of all ages and abilities who engage in concerning and complex behaviour.
From the foundational principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis to the holistic approach of Positive Behaviour Support, the field of behavior support has continuously evolved. Now, CBChange is excited to lead the way with Therapeutic Behaviour Support — the latest and most advanced stage in this evolution.
Our Therapeutic Behaviour Support approach seamlessly blends deep psychological insights with established behavioral techniques. This integration not only offers a comprehensive and person-centered path to positive change but also excels in creating a therapeutic milieu. In this nurturing environment, individuals are supported holistically, facilitating healing, growth, and transformative experiences.
Working collaboratively, using evidence informed best practice, we seek to foster positive, sustainable and transformative change.
CBChange provides a wide range of specialist services for children, young people and adults, and those who care for and support them.
We provide support across the full spectrum of the community services sector, including disability, education, out-of-home care, justice, and aged care. We also support organisations to grow and develop their practice.
Consultation is the opportunity for staff, carers and families to gain insight into a person's complex needs or complex situation as the basis for thinking about what to do next. This can occur at the agency, residential service, or in the carer's home. Secondary consultation is available for professionals._
We provide a range of clinical and behavioural assessments tailored to need (e.g. Functional Behaviour Assessment, risk assessment). All assessments include a feedback report and consultation session to provide a summary of the findings and recommendations.
Following on from assessment we can support the development of an individualised and achievable intervention plan tailored to context (e.g. Therapeutic Intervention Plan, Behaviour Support Plan - Interim or Comprehensive BSP).
We provide a range of therapeutic services for children, young people, adults and families for a range of issues, tailored to meet their needs. We also support the development of a therapeutic web around a person and support the therapeutic integration of everyday activities.
We constantly review the services we provide and complete review reports as needed. We can also facilitate service/program reviews aimed at enhancing an organisation's ability to deliver innovative practice.
To support successful intervention and to bridge the gap between training/planning and practice, we provide coaching and mentoring services to help staff and families affect sustainable change.
In addition to coaching and mentoring we provide specialist supervision, centred around the process of reflective practice, for range of professionals including behaviour support practitioners.
Our team of practitioners are trained in our very own model of therapeutics. Many also have specialist training in a wide range of therapeutic approaches.
In the disability sector, TBS is pivotal in fostering individual autonomy and enhancing quality of life. It goes beyond managing behaviors to understanding their root causes, which often stem from the unique challenges faced by individuals with disabilities. TBS in this sector focuses on personalised strategies that promote independence, social integration, and self-advocacy, respecting each individual's abilities and preferences while providing a supportive and nurturing environment that caters to their specific needs and goals.
In education, TBS plays a crucial role in creating inclusive and supportive learning environments. By understanding student behaviors as communication forms, educators and support staff can better address the diverse needs of learners, including those with special educational needs. TBS strategies in education focus on adapting the learning environment, curriculum, and teaching methods to support each student's emotional and cognitive development, fostering a sense of belonging and maximising their learning potential.
In youth justice, TBS is crucial for understanding and addressing the unique needs of young individuals in the criminal justice system. TBS provides insights into behaviors shaped by past trauma and socio-economic factors, contributing significantly to rehabilitation programs and reintegration strategies. It aims to reduce recidivism by focusing on the root causes of offending behaviors and nurturing positive change, guiding young individuals towards a constructive future.
In forensic disability settings, TBS is essential in addressing the unique challenges of individuals with cognitive or developmental disabilities who have come into contact with the criminal justice system. It provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and managing behaviors that may pose risks to self or others, while ensuring that interventions are respectful, rights-based, and tailored to individual needs. TBS in this sector supports both safety and personal development, aiming for effective rehabilitation and community integration.
Within the aged care sector, TBS is invaluable in addressing the behavioral and psychological symptoms often associated with aging and dementia. It emphasises a compassionate, person-centered approach, recognising the importance of life history, dignity, and emotional well-being. TBS strategies in aged care focus on creating supportive environments that reduce stress, confusion, and anxiety, while promoting meaningful engagement and a sense of purpose for the elderly.
In out of home care, we can work with carers across a range of settings including foster care, residential care, kinship care and permanent care to understand and respond to the behaviour difficulties of children who have experienced developmental trauma. TBS can play a key role in supporting the care team to create a therapeutic milieu that supports healing.
