“The I Matter approach of considering the adults needs alongside those of the children is such a useful way to look at things and has turned the dynamics on its head for me. I have realised my stress levels are having a huge impact on all of us as a family and learning to change this is starting to make a difference.”

What people say about the training
At first I was very reluctant to take part in this training - I couldn't see the point. However I love how accessible it is and how I can squeeze it into those spare moments in my very busy life. I can't believe the changes that have happened, which I never thought would be possible. Parent and professional
To be honest, I was a little offended when this training was offered to me. I thought 'hey it's not me that's got the problem, its my daughter'. However I have to be honest, it has really got me thinking. I have made some real changes. I react less and am learning so much about myself. I am so grateful to have had this opportunity. Parent offered training via GP and social prescriber
This course changed the way I see things and I am now moving forward differently as a partner, as a parent, as a business owner and as a counselling psychotherapist. Professional

The goal is training that can enhance any role.
The I Matter Relationship Health Journey aims to provide this back to basics, practical way of talking important issues in a manner that can support improved working together in a shorter or a longer time frame.
