Live Yes! Connect Groups for JA Parents provide local connections, education and empowerment for parents and caregivers with children living with rheumatic disease. JA Parents come together for professional and volunteer-led sessions on a variety of topics and group activities as it relates to raising a child with arthritis.
Participants gain skills to advocate for their child, help their child develop self-management skills and discover strategies for daily living. These groups are part of an expanding range of Arthritis Foundation resources that provides personalized help & support to parents who have a child/teen with a childhood rheumatic disease.

Come join us for at our annual JA Coffee Chat on the Westford Common. It's a great way to meet other JA Parents. A few of us are now parents of young JA adults and really enjoy giving back to parents since we got so much out of these meetings. Feel free to grab a coffee and a yummy muffin or scone at Muffins on Main (40 Main St) and meet us by the Gazebo on the Common. We will have camp chairs available.
