Are you new in post or keen to find out more about the sector? This workshop, led by HVA Director Steve Manwaring, will include a briefing about the scale and contribution of the VCSE sector in Hastings, information about the services HVA provide, and an opportunity to hear about and discuss the key issues affecting the sector.
Delivered by One You East Sussex. Making Every Contact Count (MECC) is a behaviour change approach that utilises the millions
of day-to-day interactions organisations and individuals have with people to support them in making positive changes to their physical health and mental wellbeing. MECC enables the opportunistic delivery of healthy lifestyle information and enables conversations about health at scale across organisations.
Members of the team at Seaview who have experience in delivering training agreed to support a group of people with lived experience of substance misuse to develop their own training programme, raising awareness about drug and alcohol-related issues among the wider workforce. Thanks to a small grant awarded and support from Dr Daren Britt, Principle Lecturer in Criminology and substance misuse at Brighton University, Seaview were able to recruit the peer trainers who developed training with a unique lived experience perspective with support from some experienced trainers. The result is Connect, lived experience drug and alcohol training.
