Online communities, classroom culture, and personal relationships have something in common. Whether it’s forming a strong emotional bond, feeling included and accepted, or having an attachment to others, feeling like we belong makes us happy. Ever wonder why? Belonging is a human need, so we all have a connection to it. Guests on Ilene's podcast, Journeys to Belonging, share their stories and personal connections to belonging and well-being. Belonging is a strong indicator of well-being for children and adults, but do we know how to create a sense of belonging in school, at home, in our community, or online? If you'd like to share your connection to belonging and your ideas for supporting others on their journey, apply to be a guest.

Ilene is looking forward to 2022 and many more amazing guests!
