Sometimes it’s not the big things, it’s the little conversations and small acts of care that stay with us forever. 💬💛

Today on Are You OK? Day, we want to inspire you to have that conversation TODAY or ANY DAY! because you never know the difference it might make. 🌱

Sharing these stories reminds us that support can be simple and that every one of us has the power to make an impact with our words, presence, and care.

💭 Drop in the comments a question, conversation, or action that helped you when you needed it most.

Your story could be the reminder someone else needs today. 💛

Because when we’re ‘picky,’ it means:

✔️ Every plan is tailored, no cookie-cutter approaches, only personalised Positive Behaviour Support that respects each person’s unique needs.
✔️ Safety comes first, we reject outdated practices and replace them with strategies proven to empower growth.
✔️ Dignity is never optional
✔️ Futures are shaped by giving people the tools and confidence to thrive at home, in school, and in their communities.

That’s why we’ve been recognised as The Most Outstanding Positive Behaviour Support Provider Worldwide in 2024 🌏💙

Being ‘picky’ isn’t a flaw. It’s a standard. It’s our commitment to families, to professionals, and to every person who deserves a future built on dignity, safety, and hope.

👉 What do you think should more organisations be “picky” about the way they create impact?”

As parents, we’ve all been there: those moments when our child’s feelings feel so big that we’re left searching for the right words, the right tools, the right way to respond. 💭

The truth is, supporting emotional regulation isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about having the right guidance, community, and support to choose what’s best for you and your child in each moment. 🌱

That’s why we’re inviting you to join us for Calming Big Feelings with Steph Johnson on September 10th. This free session will equip you with practical tools to support your child’s emotional wellbeing, offer insights into behavior support, and provide a safe space to ask your questions.

What if everything you thought behaviour support … could be done differently?

We asked our team during the ABAA conference "what makes us different in the behaviour support field?".

If you’ve ever felt unseen in this field, this is for you, there is another way and it’s already happening here!

Best practice isn’t always the best. Sometimes it’s just the old way, repackaged and it’s holding us back

We asked our team at the 2025 ABAA Conference: “What myths does your paper challenge?”, and their answers hit harder than we expected.

"myths hold our field back as it is the way it's always been done" and "our research that dares to make a new safer path"!

Huge congrats to Alisha, Preeti, and Geoff, your work challenges outdated narratives and opens the door to new ways of thinking in behavioural science.

Share this with someone who's ever questioned the "way it's always been done."

Tell us in the comments: What myths in our field do you want to see challenged next?

Read this slowly, then read it again.
These are reminders for anyone who supports others or is being supported.

💬 Which one hit you the hardest?
Drop it in the comments or share it with someone who needs to see this.

This is one thing we hope you never forget

We asked our team presenting at the 2025 ABAA conference "what is one thing they don't want you to forget about their paper?" They all had a different answer, but the same message ... to have ethical, person centred behaviour support that is both safe and empowering for all!

Have a listen to what Alisha, Preeti and Geoff have to say and what path CPBS is trying to carve in research and practice.

🚨 Send this to someone who’s felt the limitations of traditional systems and is ready for something better

As The Centre for Positive Behaviour Support, our goal has always been simple:
Empower people through non-aversive, life-improving strategies.
And at ABAA, we were proud to bring that mission to the forefront.

With 5 paper presentations and 3 powerful posters, we had the opportunity to share our work, our voice, and our passion with peers from across the field, all committed to building a better path forward. 📃🎤

We didn’t just talk about behaviour support.
We showed what’s possible when it’s done with compassion, evidence, and purpose.

We’ve supported individuals whose strengths were underestimated. Partnered with families who were told to “manage expectations.” And every step of the way, we’ve seen what happens when people are given the dignity to be seen, heard, and fully included.

This month, we’re not just posting for awareness,
We’re standing for recognition, representation, and respect.

If you’ve ever wondered what the stripes of the Disability Pride Flag really mean or what you should be talking about this month, this post is for you

Share to spread awareness.
And most importantly, keep the conversation going.
