Suitable for: All What does this mean?
It has been known for years that a multitude of people have suffered trauma and the effects can be both broad and deep. Many of your residents or service users may have suffered such trauma.
Psychologically informed environments (PIE) are services that consider trauma in their layout and design, as well as how their staff behave and work with their tenants and service users.
Many behaviours that are difficult to deal with and support such as ASB, mental health, hoarding, drug and alcohol misuse, aggressive and challenging behaviour, self-harm, can be caused or influenced by past or current trauma.
