COURSE SUMMARY
The term 'a relationship health approach' to improving wellbeing for young people and adults has rarely been used to date.  However there is a very rich decades old evidence base from many highly experienced practitioners that supports it.   So, why all this clear research evidence not penetrating our everyday practices in education and in health and community?   

The purpose of this training in the I Matter Framework Fundamentals is to help make the conclusions of this research evidence easier to understand and highly practical, principally by using a clear visuals to show how ideas that seemed contradictory can be joined up.   The aim is to show how this research is relevant today for YOU.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
The I Matter Framework Fundamentals training requires commitment and determination to learn.  It is suitable for anyone who is really determined to learn not just about the theory but about the everyday implications for their OWN role and own learning path.    If you want to use it to bring about results you will have to be ready not just to learn but also to change and grow.

It will be of interest to professionals in education and in health or community.  It will be of interest to determined parents or carers at any stage of the learning of parenting.  The content can be accessible to young people who are supported by informed adults.  Participants may already:

+  Be asking questions and are committed to learning what they can do to make a difference
+  Be committed to personal development in professional and personal roles but are finding all the ideas rather confusing
+  Be willing to make time not just to learn but to put their learning into practice in their key relationships
+  Recognise the need to commit to an extended learning process over time to see results
+  Want to work with others who are committed to learning and growing too but want a shared language

Professionals and non-professionals learn the I Matter Framework so that they can have a strong theory foundation that can help make sense of challenging situations and support both case formulation and everyday problem formulation.

The training is not intended to replace other good training but instead aims to respond to a current vast gap in services by providing strong foundations and resources that can support reflective discussions and build shared understanding over time.

This is training that everyone wishes they had had much earlier in their professional and parenting and personal relationships journey.

WHO IS THIS TRAINING NOT INTENDED FOR?
Sometimes people are recommended I Matter Training when they are in a very stressed place.  Helping very stressed young people and adults was indeed where this programme started.   However there is a difference between online self-paced learning and locally supported learning.

All I Matter Online Learning and Study Support sessions are psychoeducational only.  We are not able to be a crisis support service   As a self-help programme, this training is NOT intended for: 
+ Those who are currently highly stressed or overwhelmed unless there is very good informed study support around 
+ Those where there is escalation involving high risk behaviours such as self-harm then, people are guided to access their local services.
