Ep 10 - Self Care

On this episode of Meeting Midway we are talking with Melinda Kubisa, CEO, & Wendy Pettifer, Executive Manager, with Community Living Options Inc. in Adelaide, South Australia. Melinda and Wendy recently presented at the 2024 Association for Positive Behavior Support conference in Chicago, IL. Their presentation was titled "Evidenced Based Positive Behavior Support for Quality of Life and A Home In the Community". Melinda and Wendy discuss a residential service program they developed in South Australia to help individuals with complex needs and co-occurring diagnoses (behavioral health and IDD) transition out forensic treatment settings or institutional settings into the community through the use of a Positive Behavioral Support (PBS) and a Multi Tiered System of Support (MTSS) model. The success of their program has shown the power and effectiveness of PBS and MTSS as they have seen zero recidivism for the population they support, but most importantly an increase in autonomy, personal liberty, and quality of life. Our discussion centers around this program while providing context around funding with Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Please see additional below…
