FAQ

Why the Focus on Belonging?

Belonging is not just emotional comfort—it is life-saving. Research shows that social connection lowers suicide risk, reduces the likelihood of homelessness, and is strongly associated with longer life expectancy. When people feel isolated and disconnected, the risks of suicide, housing instability, and early death rise together—making belonging one of the most effective forms of prevention we have.
