The
INTERxVENT Mentor
INTERxVENT
is not a “quick fix” solution, but
a partnership between YOU and our team
of health professionals to achieve
YOUR health and lifestyle goals
A
key to INTERxVENT’s
success is the health professional, or
“Mentor,”.who supports and guides
the participant through the program.
Unlike other wellness programs
that have programming efforts targeted
toward groups of people, INTERxVENT
utilizes an individualized approach.
The INTERxVENT
mentors tailor the lifestyle
management and cardiovascular risk
reduction programs to the specific
needs of each participant.
The
mentor:
·
Provides a credible, healthy
role model
·
Coaches, listens, negotiates,
motivates
·
Facilitates behavior change
·
Teaches self-care skills
·
Protects confidentiality and
privacy
Mentors
are selected from several health care
professions, including nurses,
exercise physiologists, dietitians,
and health educators. They are comfortable dealing with a vast array of health
issues and topics, from writing a
behavioral contract to helping someone
give up cigarettes to helping someone
train for their first marathon.
Using their clinical and
technical skills, the mentor provides
information and advice that is
trusted.
