All successful journeys start with noticing new details that have been overlooked
Locality Hubs are the way that we prefer to share I Matter Training with professionals and parents and carers and individuals who want to learn about relationship health and an I Matter approach. Locality hubs are just getting started though so many people will not be in the area of a hub
Across the country, parents, carers, and professionals are working hard to help children and young people thrive, often while managing uncertainty, pressure, and complex needs. Many people sense that relationships are central — but don’t always have shared language, confidence, or practical frameworks to draw on. I Matter Training helps provide some foundations on which to build but we all benefit from community.
DECISION ONE: Am I in the area of a locality Hub (eg Kendal) or not?
If you are in the area of the Kendal hub, there is more information below, if you are not in the Kendal area, then you progress as an independent.
Downstream, though, maybe you would be interesting in supporting an I Matter Learning hub in your own locality?
