Eligible participants will be administered Rauha as a remote app with site oversight. Patients will be monitored and encouraged by Mental Health Coaches to complete the therapy. Mental Health Coaches will also provide instruction on completion of modules. Patients will engage with the Rauha app, have the opportunity to complete all 33 modules, receive Mental Health Coach support, and engage with the online community for a total of 8 weeks. The community forum feature will provide patients access to a community forum that understands the specific struggles of the condition, allowing users to interact with one another via an online community designed for empowerment and support.
