02-10-2025 Introduction to Positive Behaviour Support for parents and carers (evening)

Our Voice is pleased to offer our 'Introduction to Positive Behaviour Support' workshop for parent carers, with support from the Cheviots Team (part of the Joint Service for Disabled Children).

Our next session will be an online evening session from 7-9 pm on Thursday, 2nd October. 

All places must be pre-booked via Eventbrite using this booking link. 

The sessions aim to provide an understanding of Positive Behaviour Support to help families to prevent and manage behaviours of distress by creating an environment that minimises the need for these behaviours. The outcome should be to improve the quality of life for the child/young person and their whole family. 

We will look at how families can work with the whole network of people around their child/young person (for example, school staff, professionals in social care settings, etc) to enable a consistent approach around the child/young person. 

The training will be run by expert members of the Our Voice team who have training in PBS and lived experience of using the techniques with their own children, and supported by a professional from the Cheviots team (Joint Service for Disabled Children). 

Please note that this session will not include a detailed Q&A session to explore individual scenarios about your child's behaviour, but you can also go along to one (or more) of the monthly PBS drop-in sessions at Cheviots to discuss these questions and challenges with professionals from the Cheviots team. The next session will be at the Cheviots Children's Centre on Friday, 5th September 10 am - 12 pm.
