Civic and Social Wellbeingis the extent to which you feel a sense of belonging and social inclusion; strong social relationships are supportive, encouraging, and meaningful, and a wider social network is also important for feelings of connectedness and self- worth.

 

The wellbeing of individuals is bound up in the wellbeing of their communities, so actions that focus solely on individual, inward-looking benefits will not be as effective as those that stress the importance of fostering relationships with others. Entering the conversation through a discussion of public environments or community conditions allows people to begin the conversation in a collective frame of mind.
