title = "Designing for reflection and collaboration to support a transition from welfare to work",
abstract = "Online support groups have proven to be very effective, in the health domain in particular, to provide their members with social, emotional and moral support. Drawing from this success, we are exploring the use of an online community to build a support group for parents currently in receipt of income support but needing to transition to find a job. Complementing the financial and informational support offered through existing welfare transition programs, our work aims to help people improve their prospect of finding a job to become financially self-sufficient and develop a support network to help them in their transition back to work. In this paper, we present the design of a journey of reflection and collaboration to encourage reflective thinking and foster relationships between community members.",
