I Matter® Classes for Parents and Carers and Personal Wellbeing
Scheduled Class Times via Organisation Members

Currently in Kendal area only - All successful journeys start with noticing new details that have been overlooked

The I Matter Learning Journey can be progressed via self-paced learning or with scheduled live calls via local member organisations with a Lead Practitioner. Scheduled live call times offer a structured format that many participants prefer.    Participants can watch video content from Dr Cathy Betoin in advance before attending a live online session with a Lead Practitioner who will further clarify key concepts and respond to questions.    Scheduled class sessions are recorded as part of our training process.   Recorded content and Q&A allows students to catch up later if having to miss a session.    Participants of scheduled classes via member organisations complete over 4 months.   

Some scheduled classes will pick up a specific theme or application of the I Matter Framework to an issue of interest.
Member organisations are currently only in the Kendal area.

All participants accessing scheduled call times first need an online Step 2-3 account. 

A series of 6 scheduled call times are usually offered to support Step 3 with 3 sessions plus 3 sessions
There are options for funded places via your member organisation (please check dates below).

It is possible to work through the online self-paced programme and then to apply to join a scheduled class at a later date.

To join the wait list to participate in scheduled call times, please complete the expression of interest in study support at the end of the Step 1 Introduction. You will need to confirm that you have had a conversation with an I Matter Certified Link or Lead professional.
