Positive Behaviour Management Training for Short-Term Care
Timian’s BILD Act Certified training helps respite teams respond confidently and calmly. Our approach gives staff the tools to prevent escalation, reduce restrictive practices, and prioritise dignity.
Realistic, Ethical pproaches for Respite Teams
Respite services may only support individuals for hours, days, or weeks at a time, but during that time, they must create a safe, predictable, and person-centred environment. Staff may have limited prior knowledge of support needs, and behaviour can escalate quickly without shared understanding or consistent approaches.
Our training is built around the reality of short-term care:
- Recognise and respond to the stages of escalation
- Apply non-restrictive de-escalation techniques in short-term care environments
- Reduce over-reliance on physical intervention
- Build trust quickly through positive, respectful communication
- Establish consistent practices across shifts and team members
- Create calm, supportive environments that improve outcomes
