About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the SanaMente peer-led mental health and lifestyle program for rural Latino/a adults with chronic medical conditions and mental health concerns. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the SanaMente program feasible and acceptable for rural Latino/a adults with chronic medical conditions and mental health concerns? * Does participation in the SanaMente program improve mental health outcomes (depression, anxiety, and stress), healthy lifestyle behaviors (sleep, physical activity, and nutrition), and overall well-being? This is a single-arm pilot study without comparison group. Participants will: * Participate in the 6-8 week SanaMente peer-led group program. * Complete surveys at baseline, mid-program, and post-program assessing mental health, lifestyle behaviors, overall well-being, and program satisfaction. * Complete an exit survey and have the option to participate in a focus group to provide feedback on the program's usability, acceptability, perceived impact, and suggestions for improvement.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
