Person-in-Environment

Person-in-Environment (PIE) is a holistic approach used to understand an individual by considering the various social, economic, cultural, and physical contexts they live in. Instead of viewing a person in isolation, PIE recognizes that factors like community, relationships, employment, and environment influence their behavior and well-being. This perspective helps professionals develop more effective support and interventions by addressing both personal needs and external circumstances, ultimately promoting healthier outcomes within the person’s broader life environment.
