Psychologically informed environments (PIE)

 

Course overview:

Psychologically Informed Environments are re-shaping how services operate, especially in their capacity to manage complex needs.

This course introduces the 5 key principles of the PIE approach and supports teams to reflect on how these principles might re-shape services to improve retention and recovery rates for vulnerable clients.

Based on a compassionate service improvement approach, PIE fosters client consultation in the development of services and enhances the wellbeing of clients and practitioners alike.

  • Explore the 5 principles that underpin the Psychologically Informed Approach
  • Evaluate whether Psychological Informed Approaches are currently in operation across the Service
  • Make suggestions for further development and implementation of the Psychologically Informed Approach

What people say

"Identifying the difference between TIA and PIE. Refresher on Life Journey. Tips on assessments. Identifying Relational Framework. Supershrink and thinking how to foster that environment and work ethically. Critical Time Interventions and how they could be adapted to fit our service. Really good and informative course, as always from Phil."
