✅ You're someone who wants to learn how to understand current challenges through a relationship health lens

✅ You're a professional who supports young people and families eg a GP or a teacher or a social worker or police officer or policy maker 
✅ You're a concerned parent or carer who wants to be well equipped  for your role in relationships at homes, at work and in your community.  

✅ You're concerned - sometimes overwhelmed - about what is happening and what you are seeing and you want to be part of the solution not part of the problem

✅ You've been feeling for sometime as if something significant is missing in what you learned and in the way you were prepared for personal and professional roles, but you are not sure what

✅ You want to understand more about what you are seeing and what you can do

✅ You want to feel more hopeful, and less discouraged, but are not sure where to focus

✅ You're ready to learn, to grow and change yourself if you could get a clear direction

✅ You've had enough of quick fixes and empty promises

✅ You want to work with others to create a better future for yourself, your family and your community

Many professionals and parents and young people can feel stuck and discouraged in the face of the many challenging situations we are hearing about every day

You might also spend a lot of time:

- Feeling stressed - and wondering why there are so many adults and young people with mental health concerns
- Wondering why the home and work relationships you thought would be fun can be so difficult
- Wanting to feel more confident in your roles but not feeling clear yourself 
- Wondering when SOMEONE is going to DO SOMETHING 
- Talking with others who feel as equally discouraged as you
- Feeling sad - as it wasn't supposed to be like this
- Trying to stay optimistic but unclear how to do that
- Wondering if there is something YOU can do

Ask me how I know about all of that....?  It's because that's where I started with this project.

None of the above is how you want to be feeling... you would like to be enjoying your life and your role and relationships with your family, and colleagues and local community... but it can often be super difficult...

The good news is that since having spent time trying to figure out what to really focus on and what the research was REALLY saying, one day I discovered what I was looking for.... this was this missing idea that helped to make sense both of what I was seeing and experiencing at work and at home AND that helped me to understand what I should focus on. 

The missing idea was this term Relationship Health

My view is that this overlooked term Relationship Health is so important.  With the help of this idea challenging situations still look challenging but they also look very different as it is easier to make sense of what is happening:


Since understanding this term and the research behind it: 

👉 I now know what to focus on and why when challenging situations are present.  Even though there may not be quick fixes, there is finally a path and progress on that path is something I have much more control over than I initially realised.  
👉 I am much clearer about the process of figuring out my own role in different situations.  
👉 I used to know that some things ''worked' and some didn't - I just wasn't sure why - now I am much clearer about why..  
👉 I now have tools to help me make my thinking transparent which helps others feel that they can start to understand too. 
👉 The I Matter Framework and the term relationship health helps me to work with other ACTION-TAKERS who also want to be part of the solutions to challenges not part of the problems and are committed to progressing more relationship health in their own homes, work settings and communities.     I am, excited to be helping people who want to grow...
👉 I feel more optimistic as I have seen that difficult situations can be turned around.  I have seen this in my own home and work roles and those changes feel really good - and exciting
👉 I know that the positive change can be achieved when we have a clear path to work on together.
👉 I still get overwhelmed at times, but it doesn't last so long as I know how to take the steps that can help me and others move forward - and I know why these will work
