Living with arthritis can feel isolating, confusing, and emotionally draining — but you’re not alone and you’re not crazy for feeling that way. Join the Houston Connect Group for an open, judgment‑free conversation about the daily realities of living with arthritis. Whether you were just diagnosed or have lived with arthritis for years, this virtual meetup is a space to share stories, ask honest questions, and connect with others who truly understand.

This month’s gathering will be discussion‑based, focusing on:

• Common emotional and mental challenges that come with chronic pain

• How to navigate misunderstandings from family, friends, or colleagues

• Practical ways to advocate for yourself and your well‑being

• Finding encouragement and support in community

Bring your favorite drink, get comfortable, and come as you are — whether you want to talk or just listen in.
