M-56: Your Road to Well-being

Registration opens on September 17 on the MHealthy Portal! Your road trip begins September 28.

On M-56, each day is an opportunity to make your health and well-being a little better! Hit the road for a 56-day virtual journey through U-M’s campuses and Michigan Medicine. Along the way, complete small daily activities inspired by U-M’s Model of Well-being and discover familiar landmarks from Flint, Dearborn, Ann Arbor, and Michigan Medicine.

M-56 is a simple, flexible, and fun way to build healthy habits one day at a time. It brings U-M’s Year of Human Health and Well-being to life by showing how small actions can support our bodies, minds, relationships, and communities.

How it Works:

The key to this journey is simple: Do 1 daily activity.

Beginning September 28, log in to the MHealthy Portal to complete a quick well-being activity each day. Activities may invite you to:

  • Test your knowledge

  • Learn something new 

  • Reflect

  • Take small actions

Research shows that small, consistent habits can support lasting change. A new activity will unlock each day through November 22, and you’ll have until December 6 to complete all 56 days.

On the go? Download the Asset Health app and enable push notifications for mobile access and helpful M-56 reminders.

You’ll also receive weekly emails highlighting the eight dimensions of well-being—physical, mental, social, financial, environmental, occupational, intellectual and spiritual—along with helpful tips, resources, events and programs.
