LimbPower Uplifts Support for Amputees and Limb-Different Individuals Through MECC Training for Staff and Volunteers
LimbPower, a leading advocate for amputees and limb-different individuals, proudly announces the successful completion of 'Make Every Contact Count' (MECC) training for our entire staff and key volunteers. This initiative aims to bolster community engagement and further support the well-being of beneficiaries. Additionally, LimbPower's CEO has attained qualification as a MECC trainer, reinforcing the organisation's commitment to driving positive change.
MECC is a behaviour change approach leveraging everyday interactions to promote positive transformations in physical and mental health. This training equips individuals to seamlessly integrate concise healthy lifestyle information into routine interactions, fostering discussions about health and well-being on a broader scale within various communities.
"This training enables our team to make impactful contributions within our community," said Kiera Roche, CEO of LimbPower. "It aligns perfectly with our mission to provide holistic support for amputees and limb-different individuals."
MECC interactions, taking only minutes, complement existing professional approaches without burdening already busy staff. This evidence-based methodology maximises the potential within routine health and care interactions for brief discussions on health or well-being factors.
"Our commitment extends beyond physical support," Kiera Roche added. "We believe this approach will significantly impact the overall health of the population we serve."
LimbPower's proactive approach in empowering its personnel with MECC training underscores our dedication to fostering inclusive, supportive environments. The qualification of LimbPower's CEO as a MECC trainer further emphasises our commitment to disseminating impactful training within and beyond our immediate community.
