The course is designed for any frontline workers who are in a position to have short conversations with the public and use these to deliver very brief interventions that support peoples’ health and wellbeing.

The Training will cover the following 5 modules:

• What is MECC and why is it important – including the public health case for very brief interventions
• What makes for a good conversation? – interactive sharing of experience among participants, recognising what they are already doing well
• Key skill areas intrinsic to MECC conversations – review of skills and top tips
• Models and simulations – basic theory and structure of a MECC conversation, audio and video simulations (including the COM-B and the 3As/4As model)
• Resources to support you to MECC – introducing and using key online resources, such as MECC Link and local service directory resources.

The virtual 2 hour session will be hosted on Microsoft Teams. Participants will receive joining details prior to their booked session.
