Find Your Local Hub
In some areas, learning is supported through Locality Hubs, where professionals and families are connected through shared learning opportunities.
The I Matter Community Wheel
The I Matter approach is part of a wider relationship health model known as the I Matter Wheel.
This model brings together individual learning, professional practice, organisational participation, and locality-based collaboration into a connected system, intended to reduce isolation and promote local learning opportunities
As you engage with learning, you will contribute to and benefiting from this wider ecosystem of online and local support.

Independent Practitioner Support
In addition to learning pathways, some individuals and families choose to work directly with an independent I Matter informed practitioner.
The Independent Practitioner Directory will connects you with trained practitioners who offer one-to-one support, guidance, or consultation outside of organisational settings. This route is currently in development.
This can be helpful if you are looking for:
- Personalised support for yourself or your family
- Parenting or caring guidance
- Support with communication or relationship challenges
- Additional input alongside your learning journey
