The current study examines an adapted guided self-help stress reduction program, focusing on reducing stress in the time of COVID-19. Two studies are proposed: 1) an international study in English in which individuals proficient in English throughout the world will participate and 2) a study in Hebrew. The first study will publicize via social media and participants will be randomized to either immediate participation or a 6 week waitlist period. Assessments will be conducted pre, (again after waitlist for the control group), posttx (after completion/cessation of the program), 6 month and 1 year followup. Two forms of assessment will be conducted: pre-post-follow-up (with the CRISIS measure) and weekly during the program (via the DASS-21).
