Welcome to the

Family Planning and Parenting
60 Members
This online group serves the members of our arthritis community from across the country who are considering getting pregnant, are pregnant, or are looking for support with their parenthood journey. We invite those who are looking for support, education, robust programming, expert speakers, and connection to join us and meet others who understand as this next stage of life unfolds.
Live Yes! Connect Groups offer connections, education, and empowerment. Adults living with arthritis from our community come together for professional- and volunteer-led sessions on a variety of topics, as well as fun group activities.
We offer a place of understanding and encouragement for both people living with arthritis and their loved ones. Group participants become self-advocates, develop self-management skills, and learn how to not just survive life with arthritis but to thrive.
