Relationship Health Matters CIC
Relationship health supports individuals, families and communities with managing stress and experiencing wellbeing.
Relationship Health Matters CIC exists to help make relationship health as recognised and accessible as physical and mental health.
We support projects, partnerships, bursaries, resources and community initiatives that help people develop the understanding, skills and confidence needed to build healthier relationships and stronger communities.
We work closely with I Matter Training Ltd and seek to support the I Matter Learning Journey which , provides practical ways for individuals, practitioners, organisations and communities to develop understanding and skills for Relationship Health over time.
What We Support
