The Youth Floor Launched To Tackle Youth Solitude & Mental Health

Minister for Youth Omar Farrugia has announced the launch of the ‘Youth Floor’, a platform to provide young people with a space to express themselves and make connections with others.

Farrugia said in his Budget speech that one can have hundreds of contacts in their phone but still feel like they have nobody to talk to.

‘Solitude doesn’t necessarily mean being alone’, he continued. ‘It’s feeling alone even when there are people around you.’

Farrugia said that he wants to provide a space as a Minister for Youth for these young people to be able to find the support they need when they feel this way. The Youth Floor will be a national platform that provides such a space.
