What is MECC?
Making Every Contact Count (MECC) is a behavioural approach which helps individuals to work differently with people to address their health and wellbeing. Changing the way we interact with people can improve their self-efficacy and help them identify ways to improve their wellbeing.
If you have any questions please email england.mecc.wx@nhs.net.
Who is it for?
This practical skills development training is for any workforces who interact with the public and have an opportunity to support health and wellbeing.
It has been delivered to a range of workforces including:
– doctors
– nurses
– allied health professionals
– housing teams
– library staff
– job centre staff
– social care staff
– many more
The training is very participatory using participants own experiences and beliefs. Each session is unique as it uses these prior experiences to prompt reflection and improved practice. This gives practical skills that can be used immediately following the course.
How can I access MECC training?
