Our flexible approach
We encourage people to start with the online introduction and then a Get Started Workshop but some people jump in first with Get Started before deciding if they want to commit to online learning.
Ask Anything Session
A short, supportive session to help you:
- ask questions about content convered in the introduction
- explore whether further I Matter Online Learning is relevant to you
- decide what your next step might be
👉 Usually taken after completion of an online introduction
Get Started Workshop
A practical introductory workshop where you begin learning the core ideas of the I Matter approach.
👉 May be taken:
- after the online introduction (preferred route)
- or as a direct entry with option to join online introduction later
Funded / organisational access
In some settings, access to workshops and learning is supported through organisation-led programmes or funded projects.
These pathways may follow slightly different structures depending on context.
How it fits together
There are different ways to begin, but the aim is the same:
to build shared understanding of the foundations of a relationship health approach to improving adult and child wellbeing in a structured and, supported way
Next step
Choose the live session that feels like the right starting point for you.
A Get Started Workshop can follow an online introduction and an Ask anything session or it can be a standalone workshop.
