The I Matter Model: A Vital Foundation for Relationship Health Practice
A 15 minute teaching session from Dr Cathy Betoin
You may have heard of the I Matter Model,Ā but what is it exactly?Ā
Ā Following a detailed review of the research on adult and child wellbeing, there seemed to be a gap in thinking around the relationship between stress in adults and stress in children.Ā
The I Matter Model helps address that gap.
We started off with adult-child relationships then discovered how many applications this thinking could have

How to Improve Personal Wellbeing and Confidence in Challenging Roles
So you can reduce anxiety and respond more calmly to difficult behaviour
Are you feeling stretched thin at home or at work?
Whether youāre a parent, carer, or professional, the demands of supporting children, young people, and families can leave you feeling:

Stuck in repeated cycles of anxiety and difficult behaviour
The good news is: you are not alone ā and there is a clear, research-based way forward.
In this free webinar youāll discover:
Part 1: Understand Your Roles
Why the many hats you wear (parent, carer, teacher, professional, leader) can feel overwhelming ā and how an understanding of relationship health can bring more clarity and calm.
Part 2: What the Research Really Says
The science of stress, resilience, and connection ā and why focusing only on behaviour or individual mental health doesnāt work.

Bust the myths that hold people back, such as:
-
āItās just about communication.ā
-
āSome people are just difficult.ā
-
āNothing will make a difference.ā

Practical first steps and options to strengthen your own wellbeing and confidence, so you can respond more calmly and effectively at home and at work.
