Course Content

Wellbeing Champions Introduction

This first session will guide you through the role of a Wellbeing Champion, the support you can receive from the Wellbeing at Work Team and to start to talk and think about mental health and wellbeing within your workplace or community setting.

eMECC (Making Every Contact Count)

Making Every Contact Count (MECC) focues on using our everyday encounters with other people to support healthier lifestyles. MECC is not about telling other people ‘what to do’ - and you’re not being expected to do extra work. MECC is based on having brief empathetic conversations - which can help support a person’s motivation to change.

Resilience & Self-care

Selfcare is important when it comes to supporting our own resilience. This course is designed to help support your ability to cope with different levels of stress we experience daily. You will be encouraged to explore ways to help your own wellbeing and how you process emotions. You will develop a general understanding around resilience and self-care.

Connect 5: Session 1

Connect 5 is a workforce training programme, created to up skill non-mental health specialists to better understand and feel confident to have everyday conversations about mental health and wellbeing in their everyday encounters. This course aims to provide participants with skills and competencies that build confidence in having conversations about health and wellbeing in their routine practice so that they can be more effective in helping people to manage mental health problems and increase their resilience and mental wellbeing through positive changes.

The Connect 5 pre course info will be sent out directly via our trainer Mandy Chapman, so please look out for this email prior to your course start date.

Connect 5: Session 1 is part of a 3 session programme. We recommend booking Connect 5 Session 2 and 3 if you would like to complete additional training following the completion of your Wellbeing Champions training.
