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 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. Understanding firsthand the historic pains of colonisation and forced removals of indigenous children were still prevalent today (being a descendant of the stolen generations), Leisa saw the importance to partner authentically with Child Safety 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.
Leisa Bennett is the founder of BBCS and a Director on the BBAC Board. Leisa is passionate about helping children and their families to heal from the past, build resilience, strengthen identity, worth and belonging. Leisa specialises in attachment, development, and functional behaviour.
We pay our respect to our Elders who teach, guide and lead us into the future.
Beyond Behaviour Aboriginal Corporation exists to provide a community-driven and culturally safe model of support tailored to the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people, as well as their carers and family support network.
Our vision is to reconnect children and young people with their families, culture, community, and country. Our services are embedded in cultural practices and focus on cultural healing. Our services are delivered from locations that meet the specific needs of families, as our team uses an outreach approach to actively engage children and young people. Our services are grounded in cultural protocols, learning and understanding, incorporating cultural mentoring under the guidance of our Elders and Knowledge holders.
We envision a future where children, young people and their families can be safe, connected, securely attached, empowered and thriving together; strong in identity, culture and self-worth. We aim to support families to strengthen and journey towards healing and reunification. We are committed to ensuring children and young people can grow up healthy, happy and with a sense of belonging. We believe that all people's are precious. We stand together with First people's on the path of truth, treaty, unity and sovereignty.
We offer programs that are responsive to the needs of our community. Currently we offer:
Everyone gets to be safe, and that means safety is foundational to everyone, and everything we do.
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.
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 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 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.
