Welcome everyone: Cultivating a sense of belonging.

Abstract

In George and Herndon (2024), the authors encouraged an evolution from a diversity, equity, and inclusion framework to dignity, belonging, and justice framework-dignity, belonging, and justice. In the current article, the authors emphasize the principles of belonging. They share frameworks relevant to the practice of belonging and its implementation in systems of integrated care. They review strategies for identifying groups who are often left out of belonging efforts and encourage individual reflection as a strategy to overcome barriers to support belonging.
