What this is

This training consolidates learning from Level 2 and focuses on how to apply the I Matter Framework in real-world professional and everyday situations.

It helps you move from understanding the ideas → to using them to make sense of complex situations in practice.

The emphasis is on case formulation, decision-making, and applied relationship health thinking.

Who this is for

This training is for people working or living in high-demand environments where clear thinking under pressure is needed.

It is suitable for:

• professionals in health, education, and community roles
• practitioners supporting children, families, or adults
• parents or carers managing complex situations
• people preparing for further certification roles

You should already have completed Level 2 (I Matter Framework Fundamentals).

You will develop applied understanding of:

• how to use the I Matter Framework in real situations
