Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Relaxation Response Resiliency Program, or 3RP, was developed by researchers at the MGH Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine. The 3RP is a group program that-through a variety of mind-body approaches, such as imagery, relaxation, and yoga-seeks to buffer stress and promote psychological resiliency and physical well-being.

The 3RP has not yet been carried out with adolescent or young adult individuals who have recently completed treatment for cancer. As such, the investigators have adapted the original 3RP to target the specific needs of adolescent and young adult patients who are transitioning off active treatment. The investigators are conducting this study to see if the adapted program, the 3RP-AYA, is effective at reducing stress and stress-related symptoms for people of at least age 16 who have completed treatment for cancer within the past five years.
