RSPH Approved

Our workshops are approved by the Royal Society for Public Health. RSPH has long recognised the importance of education to have a powerful influence on the health and wellbeing of others. The RSPH accreditation confirms the quality of the training suite in meeting its objective.

How does this work?

The tailored approach LiveWell Dorset uses to come up with solutions to the things that are stopping us achieving our goals, is based upon work done by University College London developing the COM-B model of behaviour change. In this model, all behaviour is influenced by understanding a person’s capability to change, their opportunity to change and their motivation to change. By understanding which of these is the biggest barrier to change, we can tailor support accordingly. This model of behaviour change is at the centre of the support we offer, online and in person.
