The Purpose Project intervention is an 8-session progressive structure that was developed
based on theoretical and scientific evidence from psychology and occupational therapy. The
goal of the intervention is to provide participants with information, tools, and support that
help them move towards reclaiming a sense of self-grounded purpose in daily life. The study
will use a convenience sample of women with breast cancer to evaluate the feasibility of the
Purpose Project intervention in terms of demand/acceptability, implementation, and
limited-efficacy testing. Findings will be used to inform a later study to evaluate the
efficacy of the Purpose Project intervention.
