Protective Behaviours (PBs) is a safety and life skills programme which starts from the belief that we cannot be scared into feeling safe. It therefore avoids a focus on scary scenarios and rigid sets of rules for how to deal with unsafe situations (which tend to induce fear and guilt). Instead it teaches an ability to recognise when we are not feeling safe and provides skills and tools to enable individuals to take action and get help when they need it. The approach encourages everyone to develop their personal networks of support, to explore letting people know when we need to talk to them and building problem-solving skills. PBs also recognises that life is also about taking risks and trying new things and that this is part of our development and an important life.
This two day course teaches an ability to recognise when we are not feeling safe and provides skills and tools to enable individuals to take action and get help when they need it. It also recognises that life is about taking risks and trying new things and that this is part of our personal development and an important life skill
