The I Matter Deep Dive is an advanced training requires commitment and determination to learn.  Access is by application only.   It is suitable for anyone who is really determined to stick with the learning process. not just about the theory but about the everyday implications for their OWN role and own learning path.    To bring about results you will have to be ready not just to learn but also to change and grow - over an extended period.

This training will interest to professionals in education and in health or community as well as to determined parents or carers who want to have further support with their ongoing learning journey.    You will

+  Be excited about what you are learning and want to keep moving forward with an informed community
+  Be deeply committed to personal development and want to help progress relationship health in the world
+  Be willing to make time to live the ideas not just talk about
+  Recognise the need to embed these ideas into many aspects of your home and work roles
+  Want the benefit of working with an experienced group of people who want to work together to make a difference

Professionals and non-professionals who are progressing on Deep Dive get the theory but want help to work out the practical details of how to respond to their relationship health and I Matter informed case formulation and everyday problem formulations.

We are committed to building a community of relationship health informed practice that is enriched by the many traditions and varied experiences that our community members bring.   We describe relationship health practice as offering a foundation and an umbrella for many traditions.
