“I came away with a deeper understanding of the importance of creating environments where young people feel they belong and know they matter, along with ideas I can confidently apply in my work. I would highly recommend this training to anyone working with young people.”

What You Will Take Away

By the end of the day, you will have:

• A clear understanding of the BML Framework and how it applies directly to frontline practice, leadership and intervention.

• Tools to identify relational blindspots, the unseen forces shaping outcomes in your team, service or organisation.

• Practical strategies for building cultures of belonging that reduce crisis, increase engagement and support safer decision‑making.

• A deeper grasp of mattering as an intervention, how to help people feel significant, recognised and held within the system.

• A working knowledge of liminality and how to support people through transitions, uncertainty and identity shifts.

• A personalised BML Practice Plan you can use immediately in your context.

This day will change how you see your work and how you do it.

Make Belonging & Mattering Your Change Formula

“I found Dr Lisa Cherry's training to be extremely profound and thought-provoking. In particular, the concepts of belonging, mattering and liminality resonated strongly with me and have genuinely shifted my perspective on how young people navigate their lives and experiences.

“Belonging when in liminal spaces has been a real eye-opener. The entire morning has been amazing! Dr Cherry is incredibly inspirational.”
