Overview and Outcomes.
Overview
This module explores psychologically informed environments (PIE), where buildings, rules and relationships become part of the support. It traces PIE from Johnson and Haigh (2010) through the five elements of the 2012 good practice guide by Keats, Maguire, Johnson and Cockersell to PIE 2.0 and its three Rs of rules, roles and responsiveness, and examines what the Homelessness and Social Housing Allocation (Wales) Act 2026 asks of services. This module explores what it takes to lead a trauma-informed organisation, starting from the idea that you cannot give what the system does not give you. It covers SAMHSA's ten implementation domains, Sandra Bloom's trauma-organised organisation and the Sanctuary Model with S.E.L.F. and its seven commitments, and Heifetz's view of distress in adaptive change, with Wales's Early Action Together policing programme as a case study.
What you'll develop
In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:
- Describe the five elements of a PIE from the 2012 good practice guide and the five themes of PIE 2.0, including rules, roles and responsiveness.
- Apply the idea that behaviour is communication to review how rules, venues, language and responses in your service affect people's sense of safety.
- Explain what the Homelessness and Social Housing Allocation (Wales) Act 2026 asks of services and where PIE thinking can help, noting the limits of current evidence.
- Identify SAMHSA's ten implementation domains and assess how far your organisation's plan reaches beyond training.
- Recognise the signs of a trauma-organised organisation described by Sandra Bloom and explain how the Sanctuary Model's S.E.L.F. and seven commitments support recovery.
