Would you/your team like to be more confident talking about health with the people you support?
Would you/your team like to support people to make positive changes to their health and wellbeing?
If so, Making Every Contact Count (MECC) training could be the answer!!
MECC is about utilising the day-to-day interactions we have with others to help people make positive changes to their physical and mental health and access the support they need.
MECC training is available to support staff to gain the skills and confidence needed to have conversations with others about health and wellbeing and then signpost to support services. The training is designed to support staff to make the most of their everyday conversations and respond appropriately to cues for issues that come up in conversations and may be affecting people’s wellbeing such as money worries, finding a job, mental health and changes to lifestyle such as healthy eating or stopping smoking.
A MECC interaction takes a matter of minutes and is not intended to add to existing busy workloads, rather it is structured to fit into and complement existing conversations.
The nationwide MECC initiative is led by NHS England and Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (formerly known as Public Health England).
There are two different training options available:
