Many people in non-professionals roles - feel they are doing everything they can to help themselves and others, yet they still feel unsure, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand.
I Matter Training helps both professionals and non-professionals to understand the importance of relationship health and how to strengthen it — so family and work life can feel less confusing, as well as calmer, more confident, and more connected.
I Matter is not a therapy or diagnosis and does not replace advice from health, mental health, or safeguarding professionals. When extra support is needed, we actively encourage families and teams to seek appropriate local professional help. Our core focus is psychoeducation and prevention. This page sets out the learning pathway for personal learning combining online elements with study support
