Purpose<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2013 The purpose of this paper is to describe the attempts by one youth homelessness service to implement the conceptual ideas of the psychologically informed environment (PIE) into a practical and beneficial service for very challenging young people who have been homeless, are leaving care or have left custody.<\/p><\/div>\n

Design\/methodology\/approach<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2013 The approach of the paper is descriptive, outlining the thinking behind a PIE with young people and the operationalising of this understanding in the day-to-day practice of the service.<\/p><\/div>\n

Findings<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2013 Although homelessness and housing support staff are not therapists, the nature of the work entails a need for understanding and sensitivity, and the activities of the service are designed to create positive opportunities and relationships. Reflective practice, supervision and evaluation are then essential tools in developing a \u201clearning organisation\u201d, where the collective dynamics at an organisational level support the psychological work of the PIE.<\/p><\/div>\n

Research limitations\/implications<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2013 The implications for homelessness work that can be drawn from the outcome of this project is to better understand how the PIE linked to the concept of a learning organisation can provide a truly robust framework for providing a service that can evolve harmoniously, tying in disparate funding streams to offer very challenging young people an outstanding service that addresses their homelessness and its underlying causes.<\/p><\/div>\n

Practical implications<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2013 The practical implications shown are the psychological skills that can be developed in housing workers; the limits of those skills and how they are complemented by partnership work with other voluntary sector organisations and mainstream health providers; how the ideas of the learning organisation can naturally underpin the work of the PIE.<\/p><\/div>\n

Originality\/value<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2013 The combination of the concept of the learning organisation, reflective practice and the PIE provides a highly original and truly robust framework for providing housing workers with the psychological tools to make a transformative difference in the lives of especially vulnerable young homeless people.<\/p><\/div>\n
