What this Trial Is About
This is a parallel, two-arm interventional study comparing the Mental Health CPR behavioral intervention to standard community health education. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Mental Health CPR program, a culturally and linguistically adapted behavioral intervention, helps improve emotional well-being and access to mental health services among Hispanic/Latino cancer survivors in Puerto Rico. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does Mental Health CPR help more people complete psychological distress screening? * Does it help more participants connect with psycho-oncology services? Researchers will compare the Mental Health CPR program to standard community health education to determine whether it improves emotional well-being, enhances communication between patients and caregivers, reduces negative attitudes toward mental health care, and lowers emotional distress levels. Participants will: * Attend community sessions led by trained Community Mental Health Workers (CMHWs) * Receive printed materials and educational resources * Take part in brief follow-ups over about 36 weeks
