Families and referrers often feel let down by PBS when the service stops at a written plan.Disappointment with PBS is rarely about expectations being too high.PBS outcomes suffer when assessment is brief, mental health is overlooked, plans are generic, teams aren’t supported, and follow-through is limited.

Quality PBS addresses all five.

Behaviour does not occur in isolation.
Mental health experiences or trauma can significantly influence how behaviour shows up — particularly under stress, fatigue, or change.

Positive Behaviour Support considers these factors to ensure responses are informed, respectful, and supportive rather than reactive.

At DMI, we see families and referrers come to us after PBS hasn’t worked elsewhere.

Often, the issue isn’t the person — it’s how PBS was delivered.
Here’s what makes our approach different:
• We don’t just write behaviour support plans — we implement them
• We work hands-on with families, support workers, providers, and teams
• We specialise in complex behaviour, mental health, and high-risk situations
• Our PBS model is structured and predictable — Define. Map. Implement.
• Referrers receive clear communication and timely updates
• Our team is trained, mentored, and clinically supervised — always
• We take ethical responsibility seriously, especially around restrictive practices

Positive Behaviour Support is skilled clinical work.
When done properly, it reduces distress, improves quality of life, and supports everyone involved.

If you’re unsure whether PBS is right — or whether it’s been done properly before — we’re happy to talk.

Behaviour always tells a story.
Stress, overwhelm, unmet needs, or difficulty communicating.

PBS listens before reacting.
What if behaviour wasn’t something to stop — but something to understand?

PBS referrals should be clear and efficient — not another administrative burden.
Our referral pathway is designed to support referrers with a short online process, prompt follow-up, and clear next steps from the outset.

Reducing friction at the referral stage helps behaviour support begin sooner and allows referrers to focus on coordination rather than paperwork.

Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Head to our referral page: www.dmipsych.com/refer
2️⃣ Fill out a quick online form (no lengthy paperwork required!)
3️⃣ Our team gets in touch quickly to start the process

That’s it — no waiting around, no confusion. Just straightforward support when it’s needed most.

Change takes time.
In PBS, sustainable outcomes come from careful assessment, thoughtful implementation, and ongoing review — not rushed solutions.

Many adults cope through long, demanding days.
When they return home, the effort it took to manage can show as distress, agitation, or withdrawal.
PBS focuses on understanding what led up to the behaviour — and how daily life can be adjusted to make evenings calmer and more manageable.

In behaviour support, unclear processes create risk.

Structure, timelines, and communication are not extras — they are essential.
Referrers shouldn’t have to chase updates. Our PBS model is structured and predictable

Behaviour can be loud.
People are more than what they’re going through.

People are more than what they’re going through.
PBS reminds us to respond to behaviour without losing sight of the person underneath.
Separating the person from the behaviour allows us to respond with clarity rather than judgement.
This is a core principle of ethical, evidence-based Positive Behaviour Support.

Before trying to “fix” behaviour, skilled PBS pauses and looks deeper.
Behaviour doesn’t happen in isolation — it develops over time, in response to environments, emotions, and how people around us respond.

Understanding these patterns first is what allows support to reduce distress, not just react to it.
