Yellow Brick Road Projects regularly present online training sessions known as Making Every Contact Count - Healthy Conversation Skills (commonly abbreviated to MECC). MECC is a behavioural method which enables individuals to use an alternative approach when working with people to address their health and wellbeing. It is about altering the way we interact with others to improve their self-efficacy, therefore helping them identify ways to improve their wellbeing.
The training we offer is presented online via a 3-hour interactive session in which you will discover:
• How you can support someone to explore their own health and wellbeing
• How using more effective responses can help people find their own solutions
• How you can support someone to think about their own behaviour change plan
This practical skills development training is primarily for front line workforces who have the opportunity to support others health and well-being. The course has been delivered to a huge range of clients including: doctors, nurses, AHPs, housing, libraries, job centres, social care, teachers, and many more. The training is highly participatory and draws on trainees own experiences and beliefs. Each session is tailored to the trainees individual needs and helps facilitate the identification of opportunities in their own roles to use these acquired skills.
If you are booking on behalf of someone else, please ensure they will be available before reserving them a space. If for whatever reason you can no longer attend the session you are booked on, do let us know and feel free to rebook onto a future MECC course. These sessions are in high demand with limited spaces available, so we kindly ask that these measures are followed to ensure that as many individuals as possible can benefit from the training.
