Camden & Islington MECC - Making Every Contact Count in Camden & Islington

The Good Conversations in Challenging Times Training is about spotting opportunities in the conversations we already have to signpost residents to further support for issues related to money worries, finding a job, concerns about housing and health issues. The training also equips participants to support residents who are struggling to follow COVID-19 guidance and help residents to understand how to keep safe and minimise risk.

The Cost of Living Crisis and MECC

31st Aug 2022 09:30am

This is an hour long online session for anyone that talks to people about the cost of living crisis and related issues. They could be frontline workers, volunteers or simply people that are happy to help.

Working within the Make Every Contact Count (MECC) approach, it builds confidence, knowledge and skills required for good conversations.

MECC interactions take a matter of minutes and are not intended to add to the busy workloads of health, care and the wider workforce staff. Instead they are there to fit into and complement existing professional clinical, care and social engagement approaches. Evidence suggests that broad adoption of the MECC approach by people and organisations across health and care could have a significant impact on the health of our population.
