I'm a peer mentor who travelled with Second Step to London. Places we visited that day were; Homeless Link http://www.homeless.org.uk/, The Passage http://passage.org.uk/ and Providence Row http://www.providencerow.org.uk/ (the last two places being Homelessness Resource Centres).
The aim of the visit
was to learn from others about how they have used the Psychological
Informed Environment (PIE) model to improve situations for people who
are homeless. The PIE approach is to help ensure decisions and
environment are suitable for the people who use them. Second Step
staff and volunteers are being trained in this approach.
I like the attitude of these providers who involve people so much in the services they provide. We need services to remember that homeless people are not a problem. That the problem is homelessness itself, and everything that causes it and worsens it. I saw this in action in these places.
