Mentoring - helping one another with behavior change attempts, is typically the missing component of a behavior change strategy. The mentoring program - offered in conjunction with Dr. Judd Allen - is designed to teach fellow employees, family, and friends critical skills to use with those attempting to make health behavior changes. By exposing employees, management, counselors/coaches and family members to this skill set they will be prepared to offer support. As part of the mentor training, the following skills are addressed:

• Modeling
• Overcoming barriers
• Goal setting
• Supportive environment
• Working through relapse
• Celebrating success
