Kootenay ADULT Behaviour Consultation Program

Pivot Point is pleased to have been chosen by CLBC to provide Clinical Behaviour Consultation Services to adult clients and service providers throughout the Kootenay region on behalf of CLBC!

The Kootenay Behaviour Consultation Program (KBCP) provides services for adults living in residential care in the East and West Kootenays. The purpose of this program is to assist service providers to develop Behaviour Support Plans (BSP) and Safety Plans (SP) where required. Moreover, when problem behaviour is present, our Behaviour Consultant provides functional assessment or analysis to determine the function of the behaviour and develop a plan to build alternative behaviours or decrease the problem behaviour. Because all Behaviour Support and Safety Plans must be authorized by a Behaviour Consultant, the BC liaises with CLBC and service providers and provides on-going review and support of the plans.

In addition to the development of plans to support individual clients, development of service provider skills through ongoing training and support is a key component of the KBCP. Training is designed to assist service providers to enhance their internal capacity through the provision of three types of training services: (1) in-service training to specific staffing groups; (2) training to facilitate educational and skill building opportunities for broader audiences and support staff ; and (3) mentorship and facilitation of peer support among service providers.
