Social belonging is essential for human being, as it provides a sense of security, comfort and support, and can serve as a buffer against stress and anxiety. Research has shown that social belonging is associated with lower rates of depression, anxiety and stress. In contrast, social isolation and exclusion can have a negative impact on mental health and increase the risk of mental health disorders. It is important for people to prioritize social belonging activities and actively seek out opportunities for connection and support from friends, family and community members.
