Positive Behaviour Support

At Thrive Positive Behaviour Support, we provide specialist behaviour support services to children and young people aged 6–65, with a focus on children and young people living in Out-of-Home Care (OOHC) and experiencing the impacts of trauma, complex diagnoses, and challenging behaviours. 

We work with individuals who may engage in self-harm, experience suicidal ideation, display sexualised behaviours, or present with other high-risk behaviours. We work with individuals who are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Oppositional Defiance Disorder and much more. Our approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and grounded in evidence-based practice — always tailored to meet each young person where they’re at.

Our service goes beyond behaviour support. We are passionate about empowering children and young people to build their independence, confidence, and safety by supporting growth in areas such as: Emotional regulation and self-awareness, Sexual health and healthy relationships, Online safety and digital boundaries and Independent living skills such as decision-making, hygiene, and daily routines

We work collaboratively with carers, support teams, and the young person’s broader network to create a consistent, connected approach — because when young people feel safe, understood, and supported, they have the best chance to thrive.
