Youth with learning differences (e.g., specific learning disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) encounter exacerbated psychological and behavioral challenges compared to typically developing peers. Peer mentoring has proven beneficial in addressing such challenges, yet there is limited research on the efficacy of online peer mentorship programs for this population. This study investigates the effects of an online peer mentoring program on mentees' mental health, wellbeing, and behavior across 10 outcomes: anxiety, depression, fear, cognitive challenges, behavioral concerns, executive function, sleep difficulties, self-care, interpersonal skills, and self-esteem/self-confidence. Parents retrospectively reported on their child's mental health, wellbeing, and behavior prior to and since receiving online mentorship. Results indicated significant improvements across all outcomes following online mentorship. These findings highlight the effectiveness of online peer mentorship programs, emphasizing its potential as a valuable tool for supporting youth with learning differences.
