Welcome to the PIELink

This website is the online home of a constantly growing community of practice. Our aim here is to connect people involved with addressing the psychological and emotional issues that go with homelessness, and particularly in the development of 'Psychologically Informed Environments' - PIEs. 

In these pages you will find a wide selection of useful items, ranging from published papers and official guidance, to specially produced video content - all for the purpose of sharing practice, research, thoughts and opinions.

The basic idea of a Psychologically Informed Environment has evolved, in the ten years (+) since it was first suggested; and it may well continue to evolve, especially with the most recent version - known as 'PIEs 2.0' - which is designed for evolution; and the Pizazz assessment and service development process.

We do know, pretty much, how to improve services, from within. With the development now a software counterpart - the PIE Abacus - there is dramatic, though still exploratory, potential for tackling more systemic issues.

For the PIElink members' on-line working parties currently proposed, see the 'Forums' : HERE

For more information on the PIE Abacus, see : 'Pizazz and the PIE Abacus' : HERE

For more on this process of constant evolution and 'development in dialogue', see  'Is the PIE evolving? :  HERE

And the video on 'Learning and enquiry - the cycles of practice-based learning' :  HERE
