LiveWell

A peer mentor is a resource available to all UMaine students free of charge. You can meet with a peer mentor regularly to discuss your health & wellness habits, identify healthy goals and brainstorm ideas to help you reach those goals. A peer mentor will motivate and support you in becoming the healthiest version of yourself and empower you to draw upon your unique abilities and strengths to achieve success!

We take a Mind, Body, & Spirit approach to health & wellness, believing that these three aspects of a person’s life are intertwined and contribute to their overall well-being. A peer mentor will help you identify goals to improve your physical fitness, nutrition, academic success, time & stress management, your happiness, and much more. Everybody can benefit from a peer mentor!

What can I expect from this program?

You can expect to meet with a friendly, engaged mentor who will help you reflect on your current health and wellness habits and guide you in creating a plan to make changes and set goals so that you can become the healthiest version of you!

How often do I meet with my peer mentor?

Together, you and your peer mentor will decide how often you meet based on your schedules. We recommend meeting with your peer mentor about once a week, but you may decide to meet more or less frequently than that. The minimum you will meet with your mentor is once per month.

How can I become a peer mentor?

Peer mentor training sessions typically take place once in the fall, and in the spring if new mentors are invited to the program! If you are interested in becoming a mentor, start the process here.
