Exploring the Role of Digital Emotional Support in Shaping Change Readiness and Integration Experiences Among West African Newcomers in Canada (0–5 Years): A Qualitative Study
RESEARCH SUMMARY
This qualitative study explores how West African newcomers use digital emotional-support channels—including online communities, messaging platforms and digital resources—as they adjust to life in Canada. It examines how those experiences may shape emotional support, readiness for change and broader integration experiences.
The study contributes a human-centred perspective to conversations about newcomer settlement, digital support and community design. Its purpose is not to provide clinical conclusions, but to identify insights that may help organizations create more responsive and emotionally aware support systems.
