How to promote mental health during a pandemic

During the Covid-19 pandemic many student housing providers have noticed a negative trend in the mental health of their students. In Iceland they know for a fact this is the case. In a survey done by the University of Reykjavík 73 per cent of the students experienced very much stress due to Covid-19, which they believed affects their academic progress. For our first digital event in 2021 we invited Icelandic Student Services and Stockholms Studentbostäder to talk about the effects Covid-19 has had on their services for the past year and what they have done and plan to do to make life easier for their residents.
