Recruitment/retention rates and qualitative analysis of the semi-structured interview will assess feasibility, tolerability, and acceptability of TEACH. Evidence of feasibility is demonstrated by > 65% of patients/families approached will agree to participate (H1) and > 80% of recruits will complete the TEACH protocol (H2). Participant feedback about TEACH will be solicited and will support program feasibility (H3). Recorded qualitative interviews will be transcribed for the team to identify and code themes and key content domains. Discrepancies between reviewers will be discussed at length until a consensus is reached. Members of the research team (NRC, AMK) are experts in qualitative data analysis [A repeated measures ANOVA will evaluate the hypotheses outlined in Aim 2. Participants will be allocated to the TEACH + TAU or TAU group. The mean change in fatigue (main secondary outcome), depressive symptoms, and pain from baseline to eight-week post will be analyzed separately to determine the effect of TEACH on these symptoms in comparison to the control group.
