WHAT IS THE I MATTER FRAMEWORK?
SHARING I MATTER - FAQ - LEARNING AGREEMENTS
The truth is some rethinking is urgently needed in health and in education and social care practices.
Here at the I Matter Practice we have been training professionals and parents in the I Matter Framework since 2010. The I Matter focus is on restoring relationship health, including the place of family relationships in child and family practice in the centre of a joined up multi-agency approach.
Our work is attachment focussed and built on an understanding of interpersonal stress regulation and trauma and the power of our beliefs and attitudes.
I Matter for Organisations has several strands
1. We help you ensure staff are trained with a good understanding of the foundations of Relationship Health.
2. We help you take a carefully structure organisational development approach
3. The result of this careful approach is that we equip you with a carefully structured way of working effectively with staff and with parents-carers with a pre-early help option (to reduce the form filling!) :)

Put Relationship Health Skills Centre Stage in your Organisational Culture
I Matter thinking is something that takes practice. It is easy to fall back into old ways. By committing to an organisational development process you help make sure key principles get embedded into practices through building team confidence.
Support Staff Confidence and Wellbeing
I Matter is intended to help professionals develop shared insight with colleagues and families. Participation in I Matter Training offers staff a chance to reflect in depth about their own role. We have a senior leaders and staff development programme options for members.
Support Skills of Parents & Young People
The area of parent and young person relationship skills development is an area that has been massively overlooked. The Awards scheme supports investment in the skills of parents and young people. It helps you support prevention and in specialist intervention needs.
Your Mission... should you choose to accept it... is to develop your team insight and skills in Relationship Health informed Practice with anxious or challenging children and adults so as to bring about important results. Through participation in an I Matter Organisational Challenge your staff will carefully explore what important research evidence on children’s mental health and well-being is REALLY saying - so that in 1-6 months time, you and your team will be moving forward with confidence in personal, professional and organisational roles to make a positive and sustained difference for one or more children - for your wider community - and for yourself.
