Prevention and Early Intervention Network
Embedding prevention and early intervention into policy and practice.
<strong><em>Who</em></strong> We Are
The Prevention and Early Intervention Network (PEIN) was formed in 2010, to bring together evidence-based practice, advocacy and research organisations, in order to:
- Share, develop and disseminate learning;
- Support the work of member organisations;
- Shape policy and practice, nationally, internationally and locally by:
- Networking and building relationships;
- Creating learning opportunities:
- Influencing policy, practice and public discourse.
PEIN is now inviting membership from a wide range of individuals and organisations who are implementing programmes, activities or approaches in child and family services, based on a prevention or early intervention approach. This will enrich PEIN’s capacity to offer a wide-ranging and inclusive perspective on Prevention and
Early Intervention in the Irish context to potential partners, extend the learning and offer all members opportunities for engagement with a broad range of stakeholders.
Resources and Publications
PEIN aims to support and advocate for the undertaking of research to
improve the access, understanding, quality and use of ‘evidence’ in relation to prevention and early intervention in Ireland. In order to facilitate the ongoing development and dissemination of an evidence base, PEIN offers members the opportunity to showcase Resources and Publications which demonstrate ‘what works’ in terms of prevention and early intervention in an Irish context.
