Inclusion Criteria: * women at least 18 years of age; * first diagnosis of Stage IV breast cancer or a recurrent diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer, any interval since diagnosis; * ability to complete the intervention and assessments in English; and * willingness to attend in-person PCO workshop; Exclusion Criteria: * male (because men constitute less than 1% of breast cancer patients, numbers would not be sufficient for reliable analyses); * local (i.e., same breast, surgical scar, chest wall) or regional (i.e., lymph nodes) recurrent disease; and * use of a personal website to post cancer-relevant material in the past six months
