What We Do
Relationship Health Matters CIC does not directly deliver training as a primary function. Our role is to:
- Support the development and funding of relationship health initiatives
- Work with I Matter Training and public sector partners to introduce and embed approaches to relationship health
- Coordinate and enable locality-based Community Wheel pilots and partnerships
- Support collaboration between schools, health services, and community organisations
We act as a connector and enabler within the system, supporting the wider adoption of relationship health informed practice.

Relationship Health Matters CIC works alongside partners to support system development across a locality.
