Dates for Supported Learning - Open Groups

All successful journeys start with noticing new details that have been overlooked

I Matter Learning Journey - Study Support

The I Matter Online Learning Journey can be complemented by varied levels of intensity of study support.   Locality Hubs are the means through which 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 with a degree of joined up local support.

Two Forms of Supported Learning

Everyone comes to I Matter in a different way. Some learners are ready to begin independently. Others are supported through a school, GP practice, or local hub. Both routes lead to the same learning — the difference is how support is introduced at the beginning.   Many people revisit the core learning more than once.

Option 1:
Open Learning Groups

This route suits people who are ready to begin and want flexibility.

  • Monthly rolling programme of Get Started Events
  • Varied range of times for study support for the Fundamentals
  • Focussed on different audiences but may include mixed interests
  • Suitable for more confident learners
  • May include different facilitators

All learners who complete Phase 1 Get Started gain automatic 1 year Core membership of the I Matter Community Wheel

Option 2:
Closed Learning Groups

This option suits people who want to work with a named practitioner in a local community

  • Learning group starts and ends together
  • Practitioner usually selects priority focus and invites members
  • Often organised via a school, GP practice, or local hub for non-professional
  • Can suit less confident learners

For learners accessing via schools, or hubs with Lead Professionals, part of the fee contributes to in-house study support and guided learning
