What is a Wellbeing Mentor?
A wellbeing mentor is the person who guides the ICanDo Pathway sessions. The wellbeing mentor can be a care professional, or social prescriber, or someone from a relevant charity who has been trained to deliver the service.
Research has shown that taking responsibility even for small tasks can improve your health and wellbeing greatly.1
The role of the wellbeing mentor is to guide you through thinking about your experiences, interests and skills to identify activities you might like to do and wish to take responsibility for.
You are offered to attend three initial sessions to get you started, following the format set out in this booklet. You are able to attend further sessions later if you wish.
