Discover Relationship Health and an I Matter Learning Journey
Strengthen your confidence. Transform Your Relationships. Make a Difference.
For Individuals, Parents-Carers and Professionals
Learn practical skills to support your wellbeing, your family and your professional impact - starting with yourself
Welcome!
An I Matter Approach is all about understanding yourself, your relationships, and your impact — in personal roles, parenting and caring and in professional roles - so it is for home roles, schools, work settings and your role in your community.
Dr Cathy Betoin, Clinical Psychologist
Learning about relationship health and about the I Matter Framework helps you build confidence, handle challenges, and support others effectively. In just a few minutes a day, you’ll build yourself strong foundations and discover how small, intentional steps can make a big difference in your life and the lives of those around you.
What if we decided to prioritise relationship health?
WHY LEARN I MATTER?
Because....with good foundations, you can start to feel clearer, better prepared, and less stuck in those many everyday relationship challenges at work and at home. As you progress you will:
+ Understand better how to improve wellbeing based on your role
+ Have the science explained in a practical accessible way
+ Understand why and how to stay calm & clear in difficult moments
+ Know where to start with anxiety and challenging behaviour
+ Know that you are moving forward building skills you need
+ Feel good in your role and know you really can make a difference
This work is challenging but the path is clear! You can do it!
