Overview
Brief Summary
The Mindfulness, Nutrition and Exercise to Optimize Resilience (MENTOR) program is offered through the National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability (NCHPAD). NCHPAD is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a public health practice that offers health promotion programs and resources to people with mobility disabilities. The purpose of this project is to provide a free-of-charge wellness program designed to improve health and wellness for people with mobility and physical disability living in the United States.
Detailed Description
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.
