Conversation for Change Toolkit 

The Conversation for Change Toolkit is designed to facilitate healthy conversations that encourage positive behaviour changes with yourself, patients, clients, or groups you work with. It promotes the use of evidence-informed and standard messaging for anyone involved in promoting health and wellbeing, whether in one-on-one or group settings across Somerset and beyond.

The toolkit draws on a wide range of evidence and communication approaches to support individual’s in making small, healthier choices across 16 health topics.  Additional health topics will be added over time, based on user’s feedback.

How to use the toolkit

  • Spontaneous or planned conversations: Use it when health topics arise naturally or during planned sessions.
  • Conversation starters and prompts: It can serve as a conversation starter or provide specific questions on particular health topics.

There is no ‘right or wrong’ way to use the toolkit. Discover what works best for you!
