Our Proactive Approach
PROACT-SCIPr-UK® (Positive Range of Options to Avoid Crisis and Use Therapy Strategies for Crisis Intervention and Prevention) is a values-based approach focusing on taking proactive actions rather than reactive actions when responding to behaviours that challenge. The one goal PROACT has is to improve quality of life and support people in living as independently as possible by increasing self-esteem.
PROACT-SCIPr-UK® is a Positive Behaviour Support methodology that is created to assist people with complex care needs based on a whole-person approach and preventing all possible triggers that can stimulate behaviours that challenge.

The Key Principles of our Proactive Approach
Positive behaviour support (PBS) is an evidence-based approach that has shown outstanding results in supporting people with learning disabilities, Autism, and mental health challenges. At Unique Community Services, we always use proactive strategies to meet the needs of the people we serve.
A Positive Behaviour Support plan will explain the reason behind behaviours that challenge and what the individual is expressing. The plan will include the developed strategies for support.Â
Proactive and Reactive Strategies
Positive Behaviour Support plans include proactive and reactive strategies.
Proactive strategies aim to create supportive environments that promote positive behaviour while reducing the likelihood of behaviours that challenge. Proactive strategies can include:
Environmental modifications
Developing new skills or leveraging on existing ones
Positive reinforcement
Structured routines
Supportive relationships
By implementing proactive strategies, individuals are more likely to achieve their personal goals, increase the quality of their life, and gain independence.
