Would you like to offer individuals practical support in making healthy lifestyle choices for themselves?
If so you are in an ideal position to become a Health Champion and join the Manchester Health Champion Network. The first step to becoming a Health Champion is to undertake the Royal Society for Public Health Understanding Health Improvement accredited training.
(For City of Manchester organisations and volunteers only)
Through this you will gain:
- The knowledge and confidence to be a health champion.
- An understanding of what factors affect health
- Ways to promote improvements in the health and wellbeing of others
- An understanding of basic models of behaviour change and how we can use these
