The benefits of social belonging.

belonging Oct 01, 2020

When we have a sense of belonging, we are better able to cope with intense and painful emotions.

Other benefits include:

Improved happiness and joy

Our strength grows when we feel a sense of connection with others

When the next difficult encounter arrives, we are more resilient and able to work through these situations.

We also have better mental and emotional health.

Lower risk of cardiovascular disease

Lower rates of unhealthy social behaviours
