'From isolation to belonging', explored the deep-rooted connection between community and happiness. From a psychosocial and religious perspective, it is evident that the role of community and social connections is paramount in promoting overall well-being and contentment.

As social workers, managers, educators, social care practitioners, students, parents, and policy makers, we play an essential role in understanding and nurturing this link. By embracing the significance of community, we can create environments that foster happiness and flourishing for individuals and society as a whole.

We also noted the profound impact that community has on individual happiness, how meaningful relationships, social support, and a sense of belonging contribute to a person's overall well- being.

We thrive when we are surrounded by people who love and care for us, who provide emotional support, and who share our joys and sorrows. The power of social connections in combating loneliness, depression, and anxiety cannot be overstated.
