Digital Storytelling Group for Pre-menopausal Women with Breast Cancer

Why is this study being done? 

The purpose of this study is to implement and assess the therapeutic impact of a Digital Storytelling Group intervention for diverse women with pre-menopausal breast cancer. The study is being conducted in order to better understand: 1) participants’ experiences with pre-menopausal breast cancer and/or with treatment, and 2) potential therapeutic impacts of participating in the Digital Storytelling Group intervention.

What will happen during this study?

The Digital Storytelling program will involve six professionally-facilitated sessions, of no more than two hours per session. Each session will include regular breaks; participants may choose to attend part of each session, according to their needs. Sessions will be held on Zoom approximately once per week, unless otherwise specified by the participant. The schedule may be flexibly adapted based on participants’ needs.
