The Importance of Belonging in 2025

  • Interviews: Interviews with authors and researchers will explore innovative approaches to supporting belonging.
  • Breakout Discussions: Collaborate with fellow attendees in breakout sessions designed to share experiences and strategies for promoting connection in your practice.
  • Q&A Opportunities: Engage directly with our speakers to address your questions and deepen your understanding of the topic.
