This online group serves the members of our arthritis community who are balancing education and/or starting careers with arthritis. 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.
Connect Groups offer connections, education, and empowerment. Young Adults living with arthritis from across the country come together online for professional- and volunteer-led sessions on 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.

Hi All!
I'm applying for a scholarship but it requires a member from here to be a recommender and to submit a form for tomorrow. Anyone that would like to talk about my experience and do so? I'm returning to school for a teaching certificate and masters; I was diagnosed as a child with JIA and I'm happy to share my experience. 🙂
Is there some other chat we can all connect? I was looking for upcoming events and it says nothing.
Hi Alex!
This is probably the best chat!
Events will be up soon! We are switching facilitators and getting 2025 organized. Stay tuned and we should have an upcoming event within the next month or two. You're welcome to post on this forum with anything you want to talk about!
Welcome to the group,

Has anyone had any experience in owning an ESA? Did it help? How was it caring for your pet during flare ups? I want an esa dog but I want to make sure it's the right choice!
