Safety and Behaviour Response program (SABR)

This program is focused on supporting parents, carers, teachers and support workers who care for and work with children and young people with severe behaviours of concern.

Severe behaviour includes regular displays of:

• Aggressive behaviour
• Self-harming
• Harming others

By training you on the use of behaviour intervention strategies, you will be able to prevent, manage, and de-escalate crisis situations associated with severe challenging behaviours.

During the training, users are taught how to reduce the likelihood of crisis situations, recognise crisis situations, implement appropriate de-escalation strategies, and take appropriate actions following crisis situations to minimise the probability of future crises. This program is designed to help protect you and the person you’re caring for.

Irabina offers workshops on the theory behind SABR which are purely theoretical, and a training program which includes basic SABR theory and practical components.
