Become Relationship Health and I Matter Informed 

Invest time in Stronger Parent-Child Relationships and Personal Confidence

Supporting Adults, Children and Family Wellbeing through Relationship Health

Our personal networks and adult-adult relationships are key to our personal wellbeing.  Parents, carers, and family members are central to a child’s relational world.  Everyday interactions — at home, school, work or in the community — shape confidence, emotional wellbeing, and behaviour. Yet relationship health is rarely named, explained, or supported.

The I Matter Framework gives families and individuals practical understanding, tools, and confidence to strengthen relationships with children, with other adults, and within family and community systems.

This is not a programme to “fix” children and others. It is practical guidance for adults to help themselves and support children and others in everyday life.



Why engage with I Matter Training?

  • Build confidence in navigating everyday family and community relationships

  • Understand emotional, social, and relational needs of children and adults

  • Reduce stress, frustration, and conflict at home and at work

  • Access shared language that aligns with schools, primary care, and community partners

  • Make informed decisions about when to seek extra support



Our Locality Hub Approach

 
At I Matter Training, our belief is that support for an I Matter Relationship Health Learning Journey is best offered within the communities that people live and work in.  Building such locality hubs takes time.   So the first steps of our programme are offered to a wider audience and then more indepth learning support is restricted.  

Question to ask yourself:  Am I in the area of a locality hub?    This will impact what is potentially available
