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.
