About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a culturally adapted mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention in a community setting for African American adults with high blood pressure (hypertension) and depression. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does participation in a culturally adapted mindfulness-based intervention improve depressive symptoms? * Does participation in a culturally adapted mindfulness-based intervention improve blood pressure control? * Is the intervention acceptable, appropriate, and feasible as delivered in a community setting? Participants will: * Participate in an 8-week group-based mindfulness intervention (CALM-Chicago). During intervention sessions, participants will learn about mindfulness and stress management and complete mindfulness-based activities, such as guided deep breathing and meditation. * Complete surveys online * Have their blood pressure measured with a non-invasive blood pressure cuff * Attend 1 focus group (optional)
