SUPPORTING YOU IN PROGRESSING YOUR I MATTER LEARNING JOURNEY
We are committed to growing the availabilty of I Matter® Relationship Health Informed Practice.
We are however still in the early stages of this project. Our experience is that Relationship Health Practice is something best developed in a community hub as this gives opportunities for people to build a shared language and work together over time.
Currently our only hub is in the Kendal Morecambe Bay area where we are working with GP practices and schools to support work with adults and young people.

Relationship Health is a very new, important and overlooked term. So an I Matter Relationship Health Lead Facilitator is also a very new term. So it may not be easy to find an I Matter informed relationship health practitioner - yet
That said, there are many practitioners who will likely identify with or be curious in the general term Relationship Health Practitioner.
In the I Matter Project we think of Relationship Health Practice as an umbrella idea and a foundation concept. We have seen that people need time to absorb and act on the ideas and bring about positive changes for themselves and others - particularly when there have been challenges. However these ideas, and the resulting changes, can be transformative.
An I Matter Relationship Health Coach is an experienced licensed practitioner who has completed an extended period of I Matter Training and is an affiliated part of our network. We hope to be able to share this thinking more widely but there is still a lot to learn!
A Senior Link Practitioner is a professional linked to a member organisation who is an informed point of contact for those who want to learn more. They have progressed Fundamentals training as a minimum and have become approved as a Certified Senior Link. They do not offer I Matter training but support informal discussion particularly around supporting access to the first steps of training through our varied pathways.
The key partnership that we aim to facilitate is between health and education so that these parts of the system can work better together to support families and young people. In a hub we aim to make it possible for families to get access to supported learning that builds skills over time.
In the Kendal area we provide a brief early intervention service with the Kendal Primary Care Network.
In order to offer a service to families who want to develop their confidence in helping chidlren with additional or longer term needs, we need to ensure that they are working with I Matter informed professionals in GP practices and schools. The RH Rookies membership is a way of just listening into some of the discussions.
