The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the SanaMente peer-led mental health and lifestyle program for rural Latino/a adults with chronic medical conditions and mental health concerns. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the SanaMente program feasible and acceptable for rural Latino/a adults with chronic medical conditions and mental health concerns? * Does participation in the SanaMente program improve mental health outcomes (depression, anxiety, and stress), healthy lifestyle behaviors (sleep, physical activity, and nutrition), and overall well-being?
