When adults don't meet the emotional and developmental needs of children and other adults, they can become sad and anxious, or sometimes hardened and even dangerous.  The care and role modelling that adults offer young people now in home, school and community, impacts child and adult wellbeing now and in the future for the individual and for the people around them.   So, your understanding and skills matter.   
What can you do?  You can: 

MAKE TIME TO BECOME I MATTER AND RELATIONSHIP HEALTH INFORMED - THEN MORE SKILLED

Who are we?  I Matter Training Ltd and Relationship Health Matters CIC work together in the Kendal, Morecambe Bay area in an exciting partnership to help organisations, professionals and parents, to find more clarity so that they can help move forward with challenging situations with more confidence.

Who do we help?  We work with professionals including GP's, Teachers, Psychologists, Counsellors, School Nurses, Psychiatrists, Social Workers, Social Prescribers and more, and with individuals and with parents and carers to develop much stronger understanding of the research evidence on what improves wellbeing for adults and young people with both typical and additional needs. The aim is to provide practical psychoeducation that can help you work with others to improve outcomes and results on issues that matter.

Why should I learn more?  We are living through challenging times that are rocking the security of everyone.  In the middle of this our relationships can be pushed hard, but they are also a key detail that can make most difference to the ability of adults and young people to cope.   So it pays to become well informed

 What's the priority focus? I Matter Training can be a foundation for, or a complement to, a wide range of well known approaches.  Whether you are wanting to feel better prepared to prevent problems, progress some early intervention or have some very specific concerns, then a better understanding of what the research evidence is telling us about improving wellbeing for adults and young people can make a really active difference.

Our commitment is to improving joined up thinking and practice around young people and families.  We are a Kendal based network of Primary Care Networks and local Schools, offering training that engages, so that we can work more effectively together.

Better understanding and skills can save a huge amount of time and h​eartache!

  • I Matter Training

    “The I Matter approach of considering the adults needs alongside those of the children is such a useful way to look at things and has turned the dynamics on its head for me. I have realised my stress levels are having a huge impact on all of us as a family and learning to change this is starting to make a difference.”

    “EVERY teacher and parent would benefit from this programme. Parent carers are a group of people I would like to get this to. This would be a fantastic opportunity to bring a very isolated group of people together to improve the situation they are in. ”

    Children and adults of all ages

    “I am a HLTA but also a parent and foster carer. I work with primary aged children, have 3 teenagers, and foster toddlers! This programme has been so valuable for each and every relationship I encounter on a daily basis. ”

  • I Matter Training

    “The registration questionnaire really got me thinking. I realised how isolated I had let myself become and that this was not helping me or my child. I took action the next day and phoned a friend. I also made another follow-up appointment to speak with my GP. ”

    Parent

  • I Matter Training

    “The first time I completed the questions I didn't really understand what they were all about. By the third time I really understood what was being asked. At first we were really stuck. However It has been exciting to see the progress.”
