Abstract

ABSTRACT This study employs qualitative thematic analysis to examine the functions of posts within a naturally occurring, hidden private Facebook group for single mothers living in the same geographic area. Findings reveal themes of group cohesion, emotional expression, as well as sharing and requesting informational, tangible, and emotional support. The pattern of results carries implications for using protected social media communities to promote positive identification, empowerment, and wellbeing in individuals with stigmatized identities.
