This paper describes the development and qualitative evaluation of Connect-ROD, a manualized 10-week online group intervention for adults with rare or orphan diseases. Anchored in acceptance and commitment therapy, the program aims to improve coping mechanisms, sense of control, and social connectedness through structured sessions and homework. The study reports on acceptability, feasibility, and short-term outcomes from a pilot test involving 14 participants across two groups.
