3.3.1. Shifts from Abstract to Concrete Understanding of Precarious Work

In the focus group, UIC TA providers described the various ways in which they helped guide TA recipients toward a deeper understanding of the drivers and manifestations of precarious work, both within the HWC sessions and in follow-up calls with TA recipients between sessions. One UIC TA provider observed the most significant changes in TA recipients' understanding of the issues when debriefing the previous week's session by phone:

*"I think for some of the groups that I was working with, it was a big transition between abstraction and like recognizing, "Yeah, this is an issue," and then putting pen to paper and actually devising a plan and having concrete ways to talk about it and to address it. I think that those changes have been the most in our individual phone calls with them."—UIC TA provider.*
