Welcome! 

An I Matter Approach is all about understanding yourself, your relationships, and your impact — in personal roles, parenting and caring and in professional roles - so it is for home roles, schools, work settings and your role in your community.
Dr Cathy Betoin, Clinical Psychologist


Learning about relationship health and about the I Matter Framework helps you build confidence, handle challenges, and support others effectively.   In just a few minutes a day, you’ll build yourself strong foundations and discover how small, intentional steps can make a big difference in your life and the lives of those around you.
