Community as Relationship Health and I Matter Informed Partners

Enabling Stronger Relational and Social Support Networks

Community organisations — voluntary groups, social services, CAMHS and mental health teams, local hubs, charities, and neighbourhood programmes — play a vital role in the ecology of wellbeing. Strong relationships within community settings create safety, belonging, participation, and early support before challenges escalate. I Matter Training

The I Matter Framework invites community partners to strengthen relational confidence, connect with health and education systems, and build shared understanding that supports families and adults where they are. I Matter Training

This is not another programme — it is a shared foundation for relational understanding across sectors. I Matter Training
