YOU CAN GET STARTED WITH SOME SIMPLE STEPS

Sign up to be an I Matter Link Professional 

The I Matter Relationship Health Learning Journey is now available to experienced licensed professionals trained in the I Matter relationship health approach who are working with young people and families. The role of Link Professional is one of working with a host organisation to be an informed point of contact to help identify those with motivation to learn and provide informal support with the registration process.  

A Link provides informal conversations only and is not licensed to provide formal 1:1 coaching or group study support using I Matter resources 

Invite clients to entry level activities including free online training

Each person completes the expression of interest independently and it will be reviewed by our administration team, as soon as the responses have been submitted. 

Consider I Matter Community Wheel Options

One of the common details we observe with families is isolation and overwhelm.  Community Wheel is intended to be an entry level offer that provides informal community building experienced informed by an understanding of the I Matter Framework.  Link professionals who would like to explore developing a Community Wheel offer can apply with help from their employing organisation..

Support learning progress and discuss implications

You will be notified when clients have submitted their expression of interest. From your own dashboard you will be able to see who has registered via your own links.  You will then be able to provide informal support as they progress their programme  The goal is to support progress toward more insight and confidence in progressing relationship health and wellbeing.
