NRG-CC015: HARNESSING E-MINDFULNESS APPROACHES FOR LIVING-AFTER BREAST CANCER - HEAL-ABC

The goal of this trial is to determine if a digital mindfulness meditation-based intervention program can improve the mental health and well-being among younger breast cancer survivors with elevated symptoms of depression. Mindfulness meditation programs provided in person have been shown to be helpful for younger breast cancer survivors. This study will compare different digital approaches for mindfulness training to see which is the most effective.
