The objectives for the Mentoring Program are to:
- Develop and implement a mentoring model that will enhance the health promotion and public health knowledge skills and expertise of participants.
- Provide a training program for up to 40 participants wishing to be mentors or mentees.
- Provide up to 20 members of AHPA and PHAA wishing to develop or improve their practice in health promotion or public health access to appropriate mentors.
