I hope you will want to learn more!


Your journey to better relationship health can start here!

Hello to the parents and staff of the Kendal Primary Care Network which comprises the practices of James Cochrane, Station House and Captain French Lane.

I'm Dr Cathy Betoin, Clinical Psychologist, teacher and parent and I am delighted to welcome you.  Kendal PCN and the Kendal Integrated Care Community have been working with I Matter Training Ltd and Relationship Health Matters CIC due to a wish to help local families.

Here you'll find useful resources to help you in your own journey to better relationship health - a journey that will lead to better outcomes for your children and those in your care whether you're struggling with diagnosable, challenging behaviours or simply the usual overwhelm that can come with raising and educating children in today's world.

With NHS waiting lists at an all time high, this program offers a practical and applicable education that will help you feel more confident in addressing challenges and moving forward. 

We work together in the Kendal and the Morecambe Bay area with local schools and organisations in an exciting collaboration to help professionals and parents and young people to find more clarity about the overlooked issue of relationship health.

Check out your free content below and if you're ready for more, ask your school link about a discount code to join the full program. There are a limited number of  funded places on the longer programme offered through the partnership between Kendal Primary Care Network and Westmorland and Furness Council.

Relationships with children and other adults can be very confusing!  There is very little preparation so no wonder it is common to feel out of our depth at work or at home, especially when there is anxiety or difficult behaviour.    Now however there is a science we can learn.  It shows us how to understand better.   

It also shows us how the care and role modelling that adults offer young people now in home, school and community, impacts child and adult wellbeing now and in the future for the individual and for the people around them.   So, the understanding and skills of every individual and organisation matter.   

I Matter is relevant to professionals of all disciplines:  GP's, Headteachers, Teachers, TA's Social Workers, Health Visitors, Probation Officers, Police, Psychologists, Psychiatrists, as well as for parents and carers of  children of all ages and diverse needs.

What can you do?  You can: 

MAKE TIME TO BECOME RELATIONSHIP HEALTH AND I MATTER® INFORMED - THEN MORE SKILLED

We are committed to building networks focussed on progressing relationship health practice.
We work with professionals and organisations to share I Matter and Relationship Health Thinking 


WHY LEARN I MATTER?

Because....with good foundations, you can start to feel clearer, better prepared, and less stuck in those many everyday relationship challenges at work and at home.  As you progress you will: 

+ Understand better how to improve wellbeing based on your role
+ Have the science explained in a practical accessible way
+ Understand why and how to stay calm & clear in difficult moments 
+ Know where to start with anxiety and challenging behaviour
+ Know that you are moving forward building skills you need

PRICING?   

Pricing this training has been very difficult.   The content covered is on the one had quite straightforward.  However putting the ideas into practice can be very challenging and demands real determination, especially when situations have become escalated and entrenched. 

We have recently made a decision to price this training for maximum accessibility with a core intention to help it become easier for individuals and schools and primary care to support preparation and early intervention.   Professionals can train to become LInk and Lead Professionals and able to offer study support in their own settings.    Bulk purchase of vouchers can support further discounts.

Our key request to each registered user: 
This training is important. Please take it seriously and do your own I Matter and Relationship Health work.
so as to help make the world a better place for our young people and their families, and our planet.
