Looking back over previous posts, and this image/caption from before the pandemic has never been more relevant.
Take care folks, we're not out of the woods yet!

I'm thinking of writing a step by step guide/outline on how to create Psychologically Informed Environments. This would include the theory, all five key areas, examples of how to achieve, and practical tools to use.
Would this be something people/agencies would be prepared to pay for? Also have the opportunity to work with an educational body to develop accredited PIE training - but want to keep it affordable. What would people deem reasonable for a level 2 and level 3 course?

Had a question recently about what's the most important PIE related training.
I think a good grounding in the principles of PIE are crucial, along with training for facilitators of Reflective Practice.
What are your thoughts/experiences on this?

Another fabulous article by Dr Helen Miles, PIE lead at Centrepoint.
Trust is - in my opinion - the most important ingredient in any interaction or relationship where one party is enabling the other to heal and/or develop.

Stay strong, remember your long term goal & plan each day to achieve the steps you can manage. Each journey begins with a single step.

If you are not moving steadily in the direction of what you say you want, you can be certain that you are sabotaging yourself somewhere. As we come to understand the mechanisms and patterns that underlie self-sabotage, we begin to free ourselves...we begin to allow ourselves to interact with ourselves and the world with greater success, joy, and fulfillment.
