This webinar recording features a conversation about the concept of belonging as a social determinant of health, examining how social cohesion, connection, and a sense of community impact physical and mental well-being. We also delved into current research and data showcasing the effects of loneliness, social isolation, and exclusion on various health outcomes within diverse populations.
This webinar is expanded upon in the second part of this two-part series, titled Building Belonging into Public Health Practice.
