Study Summary

This trial aims to find the best way to help people with mitochondrial disease cope with stress and become more resilient. It'll test two interventions: PRISM & CFN.

Who is the study for?

What is being tested?
The study tests two methods to help patients with mitochondrial disease manage stress: PRISM aims to improve resilience, while CFN focuses on personal clinical narratives as a therapeutic tool.See study design
