The I Matter Online Learning Journey Levels 1-5 is a one year programme that equips professionals and parents with the ability to recognise, assess and take action to improve the skills for relationship health of their own family, clients and community.
Relationships and parenting can be challenging so this programme is for professionals and parents who actively WANT to build confidence in their own roles. This includes getting past those times of feeling stuck or unsure about the way forward in a challenging situation with a young person or other adult, when you know what you want to do, but can't seem to do it, yet don't really know why.
We are currently prioritising our work with professionals but particularly love working with professionals who are also parents and carers! :)

HERE IS A SHORT VIDEO ABOUT THE STEPS OF THE I MATTER RELATIONSHIP HEALTH LEARNING JOURNEY
< >
Relationship health is an overlooked foundation of wellbeing for adults and young people but it is a vital element of how we build life skills that will serve us across the life span. Without strong skills for relationship health, our mental health and our physical health are challenged.
Young people learn their skills for relationship health primarily in strong caring relationships with adults. Relationships with peers are important but when relationships with peers become more important than relationships with adults, we often see that young people are much less emotionally stable and are slower to progress through key maturity milestones. Poor relationship health can present as heightened anxiety, irritability, concentration difficulties and behavioural issues. As relationship skills progress then children learn emotional skills of self-control and patience and frustration tolerance and resiliency. These are key wellbeing and work prospects. So support for the skills for releationship health are critical to helping children thrive in all areas of their life.
By making it a priority to acquire the skills for promoting relationship health, parents, and carers and teachers and educators can support environments in which children can develop self-awareness and confidence and resilience that can last a lifetime. Understanding how to recognise and assess needs, and design activities and opportunities that build these skills makes it possible for more children to have personalised strategies that take their skills forward more effectively. Through this individualised approach, that fundamentally depends on the skills of adults, to move forward children can be helped to thrive.
