Iglu Moves for Mental Health

From 4pm on Thursday 10 August to 4pm on Friday 11 August, we are aiming to have a treadmill in constant motion across our properties in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, to support Orygen and the work they are doing to pioneer new, positive approaches to the prevention and treatment of youth mental health disorders.

Who is Iglu?

Purpose-built for cool student living, Iglu provides the supportive framework of student accommodation alongside the independence of an off-campus lifestyle. The combination of cool designer living spaces and first-class facilities presents endless opportunities to connect and expand socially and academically – all within a safe and secure environment. In a nutshell, Iglu offers support when students need it and independence when they want it.

What we are trying to achieve with this activity

As a provider of student accommodation, we understand the difficulties that our community faces, and we are continuously seeking opportunities to assist them. One of the most significant challenges is mental health, and we want to unite efforts to promote awareness and raise funds in a positive and interactive manner.

Importance of raising awareness around mental health in our communities

Our goal is to create an environment where it's perfectly acceptable to not be okay. We aspire to cultivate a sense of comfort among our residents and all young individuals, encouraging open discussions about the challenges they encounter. By fostering a supportive atmosphere, we aim to ensure that they feel heard and supported when they choose to share their concerns.
