The objective of the MENTOR program is to improve wellness for people with mobility limitations. MENTOR is a free, 8-week program focusing on physical, mental, and emotional health for individuals with an existing disability or a recent diagnosis. The program provides core information on mindfulness, exercise, and nutrition. Participants get one-on-one health coaching and access to a fitness instructor, registered dietician, and mindfulness coach. The classes are virtual, and the exercise equipment needed for the classes will be mailed to participants.
The research question is to measure the effectiveness and implementation of the MENTOR program.
Participants will be asked to fill out an eligibility sign-up form on NCHPAD. If eligible, they will be consented by Shirley Ryan AbilityLab (SRAlab) via REDCap. On the same SRAlab REDCap survey link, after the consent form, they will be able to complete an interest form. If selected, participants will be asked to complete 3 surveys through NCHPAD Connect before the MENTOR program begins.
Once the 8-week MENTOR program is complete, you will be asked to complete a post-program survey for NCHPAD about your experience, and a post-program implementation survey through SRAlab.
