The 'I Matter' Relationship Health
Learning Journey
TURN RELATIONSHIP HEALTH AND WELLBEING AROUND WITH THE POWER OF TRAINING IN THE I MATTER FRAMEWORK
WE HELP PROFESSIONALS AND PARENTS IMPROVE THEIR INSIGHT AND SKILLS SO AS TO IMPROVE THE WELLBEING OF CHILDREN AND THEMSELVES
Respect for the foundations of Relationship Health is the best way to help children thrive. I Matter Five Steps Training gives you a method of learning how to help your children and yourself. It takes well-evidenced ideas in psychology that are key to children's well-being and teaches these ideas carefully and systematically via a step by step system - so that you can learn to observe more accurately and then find your own unique path to healthier relationships that feel good.
I Matter Relationship Health Training can support preventative education and clinical interventions. We aim to help professionals and parents work better together based on strong clear foundations to improve relationships as it is this that improves health and educational outcomes, especially for the vulnerable child.
We specialize in helping professionals and parents build confidence through a relationship health approach to helping child and adult mental health and wellbeing with a full range of challenges.
Training in the I Matter Framework can help you make a difference with a practical, carefully structured, results-focused process.
Who is I Matter For? I Matter Training is for professionals and parents in a full range of challenging situations. You will be someone who is willing to embark on a personal relationship health development process as the central key to improving what is happening in work and home roles
TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP HEALTH QUIZ HERE
When all adults and children know that they matter ...and that relationships are vital but take a lot of work.....then we can see best results for everyone. Relationship skills and health are really key.

Your Mission... should you choose to accept it... is to improve the wellbeing and confidence of at least one focus child. Through participation in an I Matter Learning Journey and I Matter Challenge you will carefully explore what important research evidence on children’s mental health and well-being is REALLY saying - so that in 1-6 months time, you and your child and your team can be moving forward with confidence and clear results - in personal, professional or organisational roles.
Imagine what your personal or professional life would be like right now if you had …
-- less confusion and more clarity when deciding how to help the child you worry about
-- confidence you could work well with others using robust ideas with a strong evidence base
-- confidence you can know clearly what the priorities are and how to track progress over time
-- confidence that YOU have a really key role to play in your work or home setting
SO THAT...key relationships could feel easier and SO THAT...you, your child and others can thrive
-- whatever the challenges happen to be....
Over the last 10 years, professionals, and parents in a wide variety of situations have taken part in our CPD accredited I Matter training programme. Now we have further developed a licensing structure so we can share the thinking more widely. Here is the sort of thing participants say...
- “I Matter Training completely changed the way I feel about my role at work
- “I Matter Training gave me the confidence that I can help my child and have a better relationship with him
- “I Matter Training gave me tools that I wish I had been given so many years previously
- "The I Matter Framework and Training has been adopted by our Integrated Care Community to support our local strategy for work with children and families"
Now we are moving into a new phase of sharing the ideas more widely. So we would love you to join us...
Healthier and Happier Schools, Homes and Communities: One Important Relationship at a Time
This approach rebuilds the hope and confidence of professionals and parents by providing a language and concepts that we can all work together with that ties elements together. It just makes complete sense

“The I Matter approach of dealing with the adults before the children is such a useful way to look at things and has turned the dynamics on its head for me. I 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 parent and teacher would benefit from this course. 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. ”

“The Headteacher and other staff now come to me. They are starting to spot the families who would be helped by some I Matter Training. I work flexibly - sometimes just with the parents and sometimes with the parent and child together.. We use the posters and I can see the moments when the pennies start to drop. This is a new way of working for us. I find it exciting to see the changes that happen. ”

“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. ”
