THE YOUTH GROUP
Our Youth Group is the Maltese voice of young people with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. The group is part of the Eular Young PARE network. This new young group was established in September 2020 under the ARAM Association by the representative for the Young Group, Ms Jagoda Beltrani-Cordina for young people to have more support, access to information, break any stigma, and to educate employers. The aim is to create awareness of RDM’s especially amongst young people. Such awareness is needed to stimulate future benefits for RDM sufferers with regards to social and work inclusion.
Y-ARAM’s mission is to improve the wellbeing of young people, physically and mentally. This can be done through the promotion of learning skills such as action planning, relaxation techniques, communication with health professionals and family, education about nutrition and physical activity: pacing, recognizing and preventing relapses. The focus is on improving attitude, knowledge and behaviour that leads to better health outcomes. Our current project with our experienced partner Arthritis Ireland includes meetings with the Ireland Association board and consultancy with the Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Directorate to improve or implement current operational programmes, create new program possibilities, and application. The outcome of our project will be to properly analyse the RDM’s situation locally in order to improve future possibilities for young patients. Our Young awareness campaign is keen to kickstart its own webinars, media radio and T.V. programmes and publications, amongst other forms of promoting awareness.
