Building a Global Community for Positive Behavior Support
The Global Positive Behavior Support Coalition is an international community working together to advance evidence-based PBS implementation worldwide by fostering consistent and high-quality practice through shared partnership, knowledge exchange, and a dedicated global community.
The Global PBS Coalition is currently in its establishment phase, laying the foundation for a collaborative international effort. As the coalition develops, it will be guided and refined by input from researchers, practitioners, and community partners worldwide. This collective expertise will ensure the coalition advances positive behavior support through both evidence and practice.
Visit our About Page to see more details on our plans.
Since launching the Global PBS Coalition in October 2026, the Global Community has grown to include 437 professionals from 24 countries who are interested in implementing positive behavior support in a variety of settings including: Early Childhood, Home, Community, Educational, Forensic/Corrections, Juvenile Justice, and Older Adults.
June 2026 Leadership Collective Meeting
We are excited to announce an upcoming meeting for members of the Global PBS Community on June 23rd, to discuss the establishment of the Global PBS Coalition Leadership Collective, an advisory leadership group that brings regional insight and international expertise to strengthen the coalition’s global impact.
A registration link and additional meeting details will be shared with members approximately 1 week before the meeting. If you are not currently a member of the Global PBS Community, but are interested in participating in this important conversation, we invite you to become a member and join us.
As a starting point for the work of the Global PBS Coalition, we have developed the brief–Understanding Positive Behavior Support and Applied Behavior Analysis. Together, we can build on works of this kind and beyond to define and enhance positive behavior support practices throughout the world.
Whether you would like to get involved as the Global PBS Coalition is established or just want to stay informed on our progress, please Join the Global PBS Community and we will add you to the mailing list.
