Capturing Stories: How Video Production Enhances PBS and Family Involvement
Share
Video is more than a medium — it’s a powerful way to capture the real impact of Positive Behaviour Support. When you harness video production, you can document authentic stories of care, share best practice, and involve families directly in the narrative.
Why Video Matters in PBS
In a world where digital content speaks volumes, video can transform how you present PBS:
- Authenticity: Videos capture emotions, real interactions, and nuanced support that words alone can’t convey.
- Engagement: Prospective commissioners and families get a clear view of how PBS is woven into everyday practice.
- Training: Visual case studies can enhance staff training and improve retention of key principles.
How to Use Video Effectively in PBS
Consider these strategies when planning and producing video content:
- Storytelling: Interview staff and service users about meaningful moments in care.
- Real-life demonstrations: Show examples of PBS in action — from de-escalation techniques to positive feedback sessions.
- Behind-the-scenes: Offer a glimpse into supervision sessions or team training that emphasise co-production.
- Consistency: Use a consistent tone and branding that reflects your service values.
Real-World Benefits of Video in PBS
When you integrate video into your PBS approach, you can:
- Reinforce training and ensure staff see PBS principles in action
