Summary
This study aims to develop and test a shortened version of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to improve mood in older African American/Black women who have had breast cancer and now have mild to moderate depression. About 23 participants will attend group sessions and report their satisfaction. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable for this community.
