Primary Outcomes
Change in Perceived Stress
Time Frame: Baseline; Week 5 (after 2nd session); Week 9 (after 4th session); Week 12 (one month after completing all sessions)
Stress, as measured by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The PSS has 14 items, 7 positively stated and 7 negatively stated. Likert-type 5-point scale. Positively stated items reverse coded; scores are summed; scores range 0-56. High score indicates greater stress level.

Time Frame: Baseline; Week 5 (after 2nd session); Week 9 (after 4th session); Week 12 (one month after completing all sessions)
Anxiety, as measured by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7). The GAD-7 has 7 items, about which the participant has felt bothered by in the prior two weeks. 0=not at all, 1=several days, 2=more than half the days, 3=nearly every day. Scores are summed; range 0-21. Score 0-4 minimal anxiety, 5-9 mild anxiety, 10-14 moderate anxiety, and 15-21 severe anxiety.
