About Our Social Impact Mission 

Relationship Health Matters CIC and I Matter Training partnership work with Primary Care Networks and schools to help professionals and parents-carers improve their insight, skills and confidence in a relationship health approach to improving child and adult mental health with the help of an I Matter Learning Journey

The I Matter Framework offers an easy to understand practical and interesting back to basics explanation about what decades of research says is needed to help children thrive when they are struggling, with clear steps to help build confidence of the adult.The I Matter Framework was developed by Dr Cathy Betoin, a practising clinical psychologist and experienced primary teacher, over a period of more than 30 years as a response to the confusion she experienced and often observed in services for children and families when there is anxious or challenging behaviour.    
For Parents-Carers: The I Matter Framework offers an accessible introduction to key ideas that help them to be more effective.
For Educationalists: The I Matter Framework provides foundational training in relationship health and the skills that support it. 
For Medics: The I Matter Framework supports an integrated biopsychosocial approach to case formulation and intervention advice
For Therapists and Coaches The I Matter Framework supports formulation and the process of engagement of clients in the role they must play in their own outcomes
Training in the I Matter Framework helps adults better understand what the research evidence is REALLY saying about what is needed to help improve wellbeing and outcomes for children in

+ education,
+ mental health,
+ physical health and
+ safer communities  

The carefully structured I Matter training journey can be valuable for individuals wanting to understand their own challenges and for those who support children who are struggling or challenging.  Our focus is on building the insight needed to create the conditions for happier healthier relationships and communities.
