The Worcester Community Connections Coalition (WCCC) assists struggling individuals and families to find critical resources that meet their needs. The WCCC publishes an annual printed family resource guide called the Blue Book. This project developed a digital platform for the Blue Book, allowing it to be more widely available to the community and easily updatable. We conducted stakeholder interviews with social workers and caregivers and developed a mobile-friendly web-based version of the Blue Book. The website features buttons with icons, a scrolling feature, and a separate page for each resource with links, phone numbers, and locations. The Digital Blue Book will allow more Worcester community members access to information when they need it.
