"A Slice of PIE" - HarmonI's Lunch and Learn Series

Over recent years there has been increasing evidence and research into the concept of Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE) in the Homelessness Sector. Across the UK there has been a large number of organisations adopting the pillars of PIE with evidence of improved outcomes for both clients and staff. However, despite this PIE is yet to be embedded and established in Northern Ireland.

The purpose of this event is to share HarmonI’s findings from research and introduce the concept of Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE) to the sector in Northern Ireland. As you will no doubt now know, a number of statutory bodies have referenced PIE in their new strategies, so we hope this event starts a conversation within the sector. We hope this will be the first of many events which leads to more collaboration in practice, learning and research.

We are delighted to announce that our speakers include:

• Sam Humphries (CEO of HarmonI)

• Robin Johnson (founder and editor of PIELink UK)

• Natalie Timothy (HarmonI’s Research Associate and PIE Lead for Northern Ireland)
• Anthony Lavery (NIHE Project Lead for the Strategic Review of Temporary Accommodation)

We hope to see you at our event on the 30th of June.
