Making Every Conversation Count (MECC) - join the conversation
17 June 2024
Being a teacher means you are very likely to interact with lots of people every day.
Could you use these routine interactions to have conversations about how to make positive improvements to a person’s physical and mental health and general wellbeing, such as:
- where to get support to quit smoking
- tips for cutting back on alcohol
- ways to improve diet and achieve a healthy weight
- how to get active and move more
- how to get help for better mental health.
Want to Make Every Contact Count (MECC)?
Free in-person and online MECC training is available to anyone who lives or works in Kent to help you:
