Healthy Sandwell is a part of Sandwell Council’s Public Health team, serving as a single point of contact for all public health improvement and wellbeing programs and services in Sandwell including services sourced directly by our team and others within the community, including mental health support, weight management, stop smoking, alcohol and drug support, sexual health services and much more. Our team provide information, referrals, signposting, and follow-ups to services to support residents of Sandwell to lead healthier lives and improve overall wellbeing.
We are advocates of MECC (Making Every Contact Count) and promote a culture where individuals feel confident introducing lifestyle and behaviour change conversations in their daily interactions in various settings. This is achieved by delivering MECC training, raising awareness and promoting health messages from a grassroots level and enhancing partnership working with service providers, local communities, Faith Sectors, Primary care, Sandwell West Birmingham Hospitals, and other stakeholders to drive meaningful change across the borough to better support their local residents.
