The I Matter Framework is a practical integration of the research evidence on what helps adults and children to thrive. It forms the foundations of a Relationship Health Approach to improving wellbeing.
We work with organisation partners including schools, health and community organisations.
If your organisation has agreed to fund training for you, you will be sent your log in details.
“The Kendal Integrated Care Community has adopted the I Matter Framework as a foundation for our thinking about how to work together in our community to help those who are struggling. Professionals and non-professionals are learning together. It feels good.”
Dr Amy Lee, GP Safeguarding Lead
Hi, I’m Dr Cathy Betoin. I am an I Matter Relationship Health Trainer and Coach.
I have over 25 years of experience working with children and adults first in the classroom and later in child and adult clinical psychology services. I was also a confused person, parent and practitioner. Eventually I realised there was something really important missing that needed a name: that thing was relationship health.
I created the I Matter Relationship Health Training and Coaching programme, supported by my friend and colleague Jacqui Wilson, because my practice was filling up with smart, capable individuals, families and professionals who wanted to make a difference at home and at work but were not confident on the foundations needed to support their decision making in difficult times.
What is involved?

The Kendal Primary Care Network offers opportunities to discuss your current concerns with practitioners who are experienced in helping adults and young people find the way forward using relationship health principles.
The process starts with a registration step and a consultation.
