In this episode of Reflection to Action, psychologist Ryan Niemiec discusses how character strengths, such as gratitude, kindness, curiosity, bravery, love and social intelligence, can help people flourish and build resilience.

Beth Morrison, founder of Positive and Active Behaviour Support Scotland (PABS) and mother of Callum, recounts how her son, an autistic child with epilepsy and cerebral palsy, was subjected to severe restraint and seclusion at school, an incident that left him physically injured, emotionally traumatised, and inspired her 15-year campaign for Callum’s Law.

The discussion highlights several key insights that underpin Bo’s psychological approach. At its core, the approach is grounded in human rights and ethical practice, emphasising that respecting individuals' dignity and autonomy is essential for positive outcomes.
