What is Behaviour Support?
Behaviour Support helps understand the reasons behind behaviours of concern — and provides practical strategies to support positive change.

Behaviour Support aims to:
✔ Increase quality of life
✔ Understand the reasons for behaviour
✔ Help meet individual needs
✔ Reduce and manage behaviours of concern over time

At Journe, our Behaviour Support Practitioners use evidence-based, person-centred approaches that support both participants and their families.
