Training built for teams supporting individuals with eating disorders
Timian’s BILD Act Certified behaviour management training supports those working with individuals affected by eating disorders by equipping teams with practical skills for de‑escalation, trauma‑informed practice, positive behaviour management and ethical decision‑making.
That Fits the Realities of Eating Disorders
Behaviour associated with eating disorders can be complex, layered and influenced by internal distress, trauma history, environmental stressors and physiological states. This complexity means behaviour support must be responsive, informed and tailored.
Timian’s PBM training focuses on:
- Understanding behaviour as communication, not purely compliance or defiance
- Supporting consistency in how teams respond to anxiety‑driven or avoidance behaviours
- Ethical approaches to risk and crisis response that align with clinical care
- Practical de‑escalation techniques that reduce distress without increasing resistance
- Tools to work alongside therapeutic models instead of inadvertently conflicting with them

Supporting Distress, Not Controlling Behaviour
Timian’s programmes are designed to complement clinical, therapeutic and psychological support by strengthening how teams respond to behaviour in ways that uphold dignity, safety and consistency.
De‑escalation skills
that help reduce anxiety and tension during moments of distress
Trauma‑informed approaches
to recognise how past experiences influence behaviour and emotional response
Understanding the escalation cycle
particularly when behaviours are linked to fear, avoidance or control
Reducing reliance on restrictive interventions
that may inadvertently replicate patterns of distress or power imbalance
Let’s Strengthen Behaviour Support Together
When teams understand behaviour through a trauma‑informed, person‑centred lens, outcomes improve for both the people supported and the staff who support them.
