Beyond Behaviour Counselling & Therapeutic Services

OUR STORY

Beyond Behaviour Aboriginal Corporation was formed in July 2023, having been in formation progress throughout 2022. Beyond Behaviour Community Services commenced in July 2022 and the team grew in number and reach. Originally known as Beyond Behaviour Counselling & Therapeutic Services from 2018, the services expanded and adapted to meet community needs. Dreamed up by its Director and founder, BBCS was birthed for the sole purpose of working differently to benefit families in Queensland, and with a priority to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and help reduce the overrepresentation of children in the out-of-home care system. Understanding firsthand the historic pains of colonisation and forced removals of indigenous children were still prevalent today (being a descendant of the stolen generations), The Director saw the importance of working in a trauma-wise way, and hope for healing. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are still overrepresented in out-of-home care, and the team at BBCS are passionate about prioritising family care, maintaining family connections, and ensuring no child loses their connection to country, to culture and to kin. Intergenerational trauma has had a devastating impact on the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, and BBCS hopes to stand together with individuals, families and organisations to journey toward healing, truth and reclamation. BBCS believes that there is hope for recovery from grief, loss and trauma. The Yarramundi Therapeutic Program is designed to support children and young people to recover from complex early childhood trauma and pain. The BBCS approach is one of authentic partnership, and authentic care. BBCS promotes truth-telling, repair and equity and values listening, most importantly to our clients, and as a priority, First people's. We are dedicated to continued learning and improvement, as we exist to be truly helpful.

Our Values

SAFETY

Everyone gets to be safe, and that means safety is foundational to everyone, and everything we do.

RESPECT & INTEGRITY

Respect will be shown to our Elders, to our Leaders, to our Colleagues, to our Partners, to our Clients and Families, and to our Community. We will conduct our work with integrity.

TRUST-BASED RELATIONSHIP

Relationships built on trust will be prioritised with our Elders, with our Leaders, with our Colleagues, with our Partners, with our Clients and Families, and with our Community. We recognise that human error can occur, and so we are committed to repairing rupture.

TRUTH-TELLING

Truth will be integral to our commitment to Culture. Cultural Authority will be present through our Elders. Cultural competence will be prioritised through our relationships, through our protocols and through our connectedness to kin, community and country.

TRAUMA-WISE

Trauma will be understood and accommodated in all that we do. We believe that attachment is the cornerstone and are committed to the pursuit of security and healthy relationships.
