Summary

The objectives of our intervention are to 1. Ease the transition between cancer treatment and active life, and 2. Allow breast cancer survivors to take control of their lives. The primary objective of this study is to: 1\) Determine whether individual life coaching (i.e., individualized guidance that helps to put resources into action) can significantly improve quality of life and post-traumatic growth among women who have been recently treated with breast cancer. It is hypothesized that: 1. Participants who receive both "group coaching sessions" and "individualized coaching sessions" will report greater post-traumatic growth and quality of life, and less fear of cancer recurrence when compared to the breast cancer survivors who received only the group coaching sessions or usual care. 2. Participants who receive only the group coaching sessions will report greater post-traumatic growth and quality of life, and lesser fear of cancer recurrence when compared to the participants who receive usual care.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Group life-coaching	Group coaching sessions will be focusing on providing material and tools that guide the participants in the transition from cancer treatment to survivorship. All activities of the group session will be following the "After Cancer Passport" document.
BEHAVIORAL	Individual life-coaching	In the individual coaching sessions, the life-coach will provide guidances that help the participants to put tools into actions. All activities are outlined in the After Cancer Passport. Participants will use their Passport for each individual coaching session to outline their objectives and indicators of success. The life coach will also assign activities, such as self-reflection, for the participants to complete between each session.
