Group II: health and wellnessActive Control1 Intervention
The control condition will be an educational health and wellness intervention for stress related disorders that will match the experimental condition for time and attention. The control condition will be three, one hour, individual sessions covering the symptom cycle, managing stress, and identifying social supports.
