At Alba Health, they use the concept of the Wellbeing Triangle to tailor our medical care to treat the person as a whole, providing holistic, high quality and patient centered care - not just focusing on treating the disease process. Health & wellbeing is supported by both our physical and mental health; these are in turn influenced by biological, psychological and social (biopsychosocial) factors that interact, creating a complex dynamic, or balance, that affects our physical and mental health and so, in turn, our overall Health and Wellbeing. Every person is unique and different: no one dynamic is the same. This is what we mean by the concept of the Wellbeing Triangle.

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person centred framework for providing support in situations where there is, or there is a risk of, challenging behaviour.‘ Challenging behaviour’ is persistent behaviour that puts the physical safety of people at risk or that causes difficulties and limits a person’s ability to have a good life. Note: This does not include behaviours that are typically part of the autism spectrum such as ‘stimming’. PBS understands that challenging behaviour occurs for a reason and communicates important information about a person’s stress, distress and skill development.
