Interventions
Empowered Relief
ER is provided in a single, 2-hour session delivered remotely by trained instructors. ER has two main components: didactics and skills acquisition as outlined below. The ER class is administered virtually. The class includes the didactic and skill acquisition content. At the end of the class participants receive tangible items including the self-crafted, personalized catastrophizing cessation plan, a guided relaxation response audio file, and an electronic copy of the didactic class content.
Move to Health
The M2H intervention is delivered virtually by trained health coaches using a 6-step process. The administration of M2H begins with an initial session with follow-up sessions scheduled every 1-2 weeks for up to 8 weeks or until the participant is ready to transition to self-management.
Usual Care as determined by primary care provider
Patients will receive care as determined by their primary care provider, with no input or control by the research team.
