At Developing Matters CIC, we believe in equipping young people, educators, and caregivers with the tools to support mental health and wellbeing. Our approach is built on mindful learning and living, helping individuals develop lifelong strategies to understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
We focus on learning about the brain, understanding how it influences thinking patterns, emotions and actions, and exploring different strategies tailored to individual preferences. Through courses, training, intervention delivery, and self-guided manuals, young people and adults can access practical ways to navigate challenges, develop flexible thinking, and make informed choices. We also offer books to support ongoing learning and reflection.
Developing Matters CIC is a Community Interest Company founded by Clare Hales (PhD Researcher), with a mission to empower young people, schools and families with accessible, learning-based approaches to supporting mental health and wellbeing. With over eight years of development, our programmes are designed to be practical, inclusive, and relevant to everyday life.
