iQ Feel Good Summit 2024

At iQ, our residents’ wellbeing is our top priority. We want to make sure you have your best year yet, but that’s only possible when you have the right mind to get involved and make the most of the university experience.  

On 29th February, we brought together all of our iQ Feel Good Ambassadors and wellbeing champions from across the company to talk about this year’s topic for our upcoming Wellbeing Week: community. We know that last year, 92% of students felt loneliness at some point. We know that we can help students find ways to feel a better sense of belonging, so we dedicated a whole day to talk about how we can do that.  

With our team members coming all the way to the iconic Oxo Tower from Brighton to Dundee, we started off the day with a little bit of networking and catching up. Things heated up as we finally had our own crack at SpeedFriending – a welcome event we host at iQ with our friends at Fethr to help you find your people.  

We welcomed a few of our partners to talk about how we can do more to support our residents: 

• Student Minds pointed us to their free hub of mental health resources, Student Space 

• TONG gave our teams an in depth look at the experience of international students 

• Green Cross gave us tips on how to manage stress and spot when we’re getting burnt out 

Our teams also got to hear firsthand about the experience of joining an iQ Club from one of our residents. We were joined by iQ Weaver Place resident Mitali, who described iQ SupperClub as “a platform where I know I can engage with people with interests in this area”. 

The day was a great chance for our teams to share ideas, inspire one another and open up about talking more about mental health and how community and relationships can be positive supporters. 

Our Wellbeing Week runs from 11th to 15th March, with University Mental Health Day on the 14th. We look forward to sharing more of our tips for making the most of your uni experience.
