Safety-Care® by QBS

Redefining Crisis Prevention

Safety-Care® by Quality Behavior Solutions (QBS) goes beyond crisis management training. It’s a comprehensive, evidence-based framework grounded in the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). Our approach equips staff with practical tools and compassionate strategies to prevent challenging behavior, reduce the use of restraint, and provide support that protects every individual’s dignity and safety.
