1 Find your tribe

One of the best ways to develop a sense of belonging is to find your tribe: a group of like-minded people who share your passion, values, and goals. Your tribe can be your colleagues, mentors, peers, or friends who understand what you do, why you do it, and how you feel. They can offer you advice, feedback, encouragement, and empathy. You can find your tribe by joining professional associations, networks, or groups, attending events or trainings, or reaching out to other social workers online or offline.

1. Find Your Tribe: Social work is vast. Connect with colleagues who share your passion area within the field. Join online forums or local social work groups to find your "work family." 2. Seek Recognition: Feeling valued motivates us. Let your supervisor know about your accomplishments and achievements. Don't be afraid to ask for feedback and opportunities for growth. 3. Embrace Diversity: Social work thrives on inclusion. Celebrate the unique perspectives your colleagues bring. Advocate for an equitable work environment where everyone feels respected and supported.

2 Seek feedback and recognition

Another way to develop a sense of belonging is to seek feedback and recognition for your work. Feedback can help you learn from your experiences, identify your strengths and areas for improvement, and celebrate your achievements. Recognition can help you feel appreciated, valued, and motivated. You can seek feedback and recognition by asking for regular supervision, reviews, or appraisals, requesting testimonials or referrals from your clients or partners, or applying for awards or scholarships.

3 Embrace diversity and inclusion

A third way to develop a sense of belonging is to embrace diversity and inclusion in your profession and your workplace. Diversity and inclusion mean respecting and celebrating the differences and similarities among people, cultures, and perspectives. They also mean ensuring that everyone has equal access, opportunity, and representation. You can embrace diversity and inclusion by educating yourself on issues of social justice, equity, and anti-oppression, engaging with diverse communities and stakeholders, and advocating for inclusive policies and practices.

4 Nurture your well-being

A fourth way to develop a sense of belonging is to nurture your well-being. Well-being means taking care of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. It also means finding a balance between your personal and professional life. You can nurture your well-being by practicing self-care, setting boundaries, managing stress, seeking help when needed, and pursuing your hobbies and interests.

5 Explore your identity and purpose

A fifth way to develop a sense of belonging is to explore your identity and purpose as a social worker. Identity and purpose mean understanding who you are, what you value, and what you want to achieve. They also mean aligning your actions with your vision and mission. You can explore your identity and purpose by reflecting on your experiences, motivations, and goals, creating a personal or professional development plan, or finding a mentor or coach.

6 Be open and curious

A sixth way to develop a sense of belonging is to be open and curious. Openness and curiosity mean being willing to learn new things, try new approaches, and embrace new challenges. They also mean being flexible, adaptable, and resilient in the face of change and uncertainty. You can be open and curious by seeking new opportunities, taking risks, asking questions, and experimenting with different methods or tools.

Search for your strengths, purpose and yearnings. With purpose, you can develop skillsets and strategies to empower yourself to engage, assess and intervene. Equally critical is support system of family and friends. Bring in the village. Allow periods of transition and uncertainties and failure. You will not be in mountain with sunshine and wonderful views all the time. When in the valleys at night in the rain, what can you look forward to? God? Man? Coping using tobacco, liquor, drugs, sports or sex? Attend to stress using positive relaxants eg mindfulness breathing, cooking, walks or others

Una de las mejores maneras de?desarrollar un sentido de pertenencia hacia la carrera de Trabajo Social, siendo estudiantes o profesional, es estudiando su historia y leyendo, viendo y escuchando las diferentes producciones de otras(os) colegas de Trabajo Social.? Es muy difícil sentir pertenencia por algo que no se conoce, y el Trabajo Social profesional no se escapa a esta realidad. Una de las maneras más efectivas de conocer la carrera es estudiando asuntos específicos del Trabajo Social. Así que es el momento de comenzar a consumir diferentes tipos de producciones que otras(os) colegas de la carrera han elaborado como resultado de sus experiencias de intervención e investigación en lo social.
