MENTOR Wellness Program

EXPERIMENTAL

MENTOR is an 8-week group program conducted via videoconferencing, designed for individuals with physical disabilities in the United States to enhance their health and well-being. The program includes 1 hour per week of mindfulness training, 2 hours per week of exercise, and 1 hour per week of nutrition education. Participants will also receive personalized health coaching and have access to a fitness instructor, registered dietician, and mindfulness coach. Additionally, participants will receive information on 8 other areas, including self-care skills, core values, outdoor time in nature, rest/relaxation, contributing to others, arts and leisure, relationships, and spiritual practice, all taught by a trained health coach over the 8-week period.

Interventions

MENTOR BEHAVIORAL

Participants will attend a group-based, 8-week online program (a total of 40 hours) via Zoom videoconferencing. The program is split into three wellness sections (Mindfulness, Exercise, and Nutrition) and eight other sections (self-care skills, core values, outdoor time in nature, rest/relaxation, contribution to others, arts and leisure, relationships, and spiritual practice). Participants will access all assessment and intervention tools on any mobile device (phone, tablet, laptop, desktop) using a password-protected identification (ID) to log in via their devices. Health coaches can create intake flows to collect health data and track analytics. Participants can see their goals, upcoming intervention sessions, and activities through the study application (app). Features of the study app include goal setting, where participants record their goals, zoom videoconferencing links for online classes and coaching sessions, and the ability to share materials with participants.
