MECC aims to improve your conversations around health & wellbeing and behaviour change as well as supporting appropriate signposting.

Making Every Contact Count is a national training programme delivered for FREE by One You East Sussex. The aim of the training is to help people to recognise opportunities for, and have skilful conversations with, individuals about their physical and mental health and to provide up-to-date information on how you can find a local or national service that is best placed to help that person.

We’ll go through a host of concepts from recognising language that helps us identify an individual’s openness to long term behavioural change to providing information about specialised local services and how to refer into them.

Making Every Contact Count not only looks to make a difference in the lives of individuals, but also on a local and national scale – if we can help someone make a positive lifestyle improvement change now, we may be able to reduce their chances of suffering from some of the medical conditions linked to unhealthy lifestyle choices thereby reducing the pressure on both local and national services.
