I Matter Training offers therapeutic support and a carefully structured personal development journey that improves your confidence and effectiveness as a professional who works with children and families and/or as a parent.The mission of the I Matter Training Company is to improve the mental health and well-being of children and young people and parents and professionals by sharing the I Matter Framework through a supported learning approach.

The I Matter Framework is a practical back to basics integration of the evidence base and research on outcomes for children. Training in the I Matter Framework helps adults better understand what the research evidence is REALLY saying - notably as regards their own key role in improving well-being and outcomes for children in

+ education,
+ mental health,
+ physical health and
+ safer communities

The carefully structured training journey can be valuable for individuals wanting to understand their own challenges and for those who support children who are struggling or challenging. Our focus is on building the insight needed to create the conditions for happier healthier relationships and communities.
