Relationships with children and other adults can be very confusing!  There is very little preparation so no wonder we often feel out of our depth, especially when there is anxiety or difficult behaviour. Now however there is a science we can learn.  It shows us how to understand better.   It also shows us how 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, the understanding and skills of every individual and organisation 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 professionals and parents and organisations to find more clarity so that they can help move forward with challenging situations with more confidence.

How do we help?  We provide you with online and printed resources that are designed to facilitate reflection and discussion in your own home, school and community.   We also help professionals figure out how to use the resources for best impact in their own organisations.   People start in very different places.  However I Matter learning always benefits from local discussion.

Who do we help?   The resources are designed to be accessible to everyone who wants to learn.  We work with professionals including GP's, Teachers, Psychologists, Counsellors, School Nurses, Psychiatrists, Social Workers, Social Prescribers to help them strengthen their own 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!
