These include investing in long-term programs and proven initiatives, not short-term fixes; making information about local connection opportunities easy to find, in simple and accessible formats; and co-designing programs with users and including diverse voices in decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the report&#8217;s launch, Geelong mayor Stretch Kontelj said belonging needed to be part of everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s unacceptable that 25 per cent of our residents feel lonely, with even higher rates for specific groups,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBarriers to belonging can compound and further isolate these communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSocial exclusion is preventable. We know that when people feel included, their health and wellbeing improve and the community is stronger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABOUT a quarter of Geelong&#8217;s residents feel lonely, according to a new report, but an action group has put together proposals to create a community where everyone feels safe, welcome, and connected.
