At MoreLife we understand that behavior change, although beneficial in preventing disease can be very challenging & during these uncertain times maintaining a healthy lifestyle has not been possible for all.

MECC will provide you with the skills, confidence and tools to have a positive and effective conversation about health and behaviour change; particularly around weight management, stopping smoking and increasing physical activity. Having even a brief chat with someone about what is happening in their life can be all it takes to make a positive impact to their health and wellbeing. That’s where the MECC training will help you.

What is MECC?

MECC is an approach to behaviour change. It utilises the millions of day-to-day interactions organisations and individuals have with other people to support them in making positive changes to their physical and mental wellbeing. This model is relevant for everyone who comes into contact with people and has an opportunity to encourage positive behaviour change. However, we know that telling people what to do is not the most effective way to help them change. Making Every Contact Count is about altering how we interact with people through having Healthy Conversations and learning how to spot opportunities to talk to people about their wellbeing.

Our CPD accredited Training course is 2 hours long delivered by an engaging practitioner covering;

1. What is MECC & How is it relevant to you and your job role?

2. Identify opportunities to start a healthy conversation around health & wellbeing.

3. Understand your own barriers and enable you to feel more confident in having a healthy lifestyle conversation.

4. Identify the key healthy conversation skills to support someone

To make sure you get the most from your training with us we would like to ask a few simple questions to help us tailor our approach to best suit your needs so participants will be contacted by email with a Pre Course Questionnaire to complete prior to training. All relevant course materials & key information will be sent to participants once training completed, along with the Course Feedback and Evaluation form which will need to be completed before the course completion certificate will be released.

Disclaimer: should we have insufficient numbers booked on the course, we reserve the right to cancel or reschedule the course.
