Are you very motivated to improve your confidence

and skills for relationship health?

The I Matter Relationship Health Learning Journey is for professionals and for parents and carers and for professionals who are also parents! 

Welcome! 
I am glad you found your way here!

Being a parent or carer can be one of the most rewarding — and most challenging — roles in life. When things feel tough, it’s natural to want help and clarity.

I developed the I Matter Relationship Health Learning Journey because through years of practice it became so clear that relationships are at the heart of wellbeing, yet in our primary care and mental health services for adults and young people we had not been discussing them enough.

I believe every parent deserves to feel supported, and connected with local opportunities to gain the vital training and coaching that can make such a difference.

How Parents Access I Matter

Right now, parents and carers don’t sign up to I Matter training directly.
Instead, families access I Matter learning through their child’s school or local service.

This is for an important reason:

  • Parenting can feel overwhelming if you try to figure it all out alone.

  • Having professionals alongside you ensures you’re supported in context.

  • It also helps schools and families work together with a shared language and approach.

 

What This Means for You

If you are a parent or carer and you’re interested in I Matter:

👉 Check with your child’s school (or GP/community service) to see if they are an I Matter Member Organisation.
👉 If they are, we are working towards people like yourself being able to join a supported learning journey designed for parents.
👉 If not, you can register your interest below, and we’ll let you know when opportunities open in your area.

 

What Parents Learn in I Matter

Through your school or service, you’ll be introduced to:

  • A simple framework for making sense of stress and behaviour

  • Some practical steps for turning difficult situations around

  • Support to apply the ideas at home with more confidence

A Final Word

Parenting is never simple. But it really is best to not try to do it on your own.

I Matter Training is aiming to help — working together with the professionals in your community.
