NDIS Behaviour Support in Glen Iris

Brave Mental Health provides specialist NDIS Behaviour Support to families and individuals in Glen Iris (3146), within the City of Boroondara area of Melbourne. Whether you’re navigating the NDIS for the first time or looking for a practitioner who genuinely listens, we’re here.

Glen Iris is a community with its own unique character and pressures. At Brave Mental Health, we take time to understand the specific context your family is operating in before developing any strategies — because the best behaviour support is always built on genuine understanding.

When a family in Glen Iris reaches out, the concern is often not one isolated behaviour. It is usually a pattern: mornings becoming harder, school calls increasing, carers feeling unsure, or a participant becoming more distressed in everyday routines. We start by listening carefully before making recommendations.

What Behaviour Support Looks Like in Glen Iris

Behaviour support begins with curiosity. We look at communication, sensory needs, health, routines, relationships, trauma history, skill gaps, and environmental triggers, then turn that understanding into a practical Behaviour Support Plan.

For a family in Glen Iris, this might mean:

• A Functional Behaviour Assessment for a child whose meltdowns are escalating before school or bedtime
• A Behaviour Support Plan for a teenager with autism, ADHD, anxiety, or sensory overload
• Parent and carer coaching so responses are calm, consistent, and realistic under pressure
• Support worker guidance so strategies are used the same way across home and community settings
• An Interim Behaviour Support Plan where urgent safety strategies are needed before a full assessment is complete

Who We Work With in Glen Iris

Himani works with NDIS participants and families across Glen Iris, Ashburton, Malvern East, and Camberwell. We commonly support:

• Children aged 2–12 with Autism (ASD), including children adjusting to kinder, school, or new routines
• Teenagers with ADHD, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, school refusal, or escalating conflict at home
• Adults with intellectual or developmental disability who need safer daily routines and clearer support strategies
• Children and young people with complex trauma, including those in out-of-home care or kinship care
• CALD families in Glen Iris who want culturally respectful support that works well across different family and community contexts
• LGBTQIA+ participants and families who need affirming, trauma-informed support

School and Community Collaboration in Glen Iris

Behaviour rarely happens in only one setting. We can work with families, schools, day programs, support coordinators, and support workers across Glen Iris so everyone understands the plan and uses the same proactive strategies.

Telehealth and In-Home Support

We know families do not need another complicated appointment to manage. Sessions can be arranged around school hours, work commitments, support worker shifts, and the participant’s best time of day, with telehealth available across Glen Iris and nearby suburbs.
