Summary

This study trains 350 cancer care providers in Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy, a method to help patients find meaning and cope with cancer. Providers attend a two-day workshop, followed by calls and webinars, and are assessed on their skills for one year. The goal is to improve how clinicians support patients' emotional and spiritual well-being.
