Fizz Friends

A great way to share your experiences, ask advice or just keep in touch with friends is by joining our Fizz Friends group on Facebook. This group is designed solely for young people living with arthritis and will give you the opportunity to chat to other teens with JA about anything from relationships to traveling to school to friendships! Sign up here.

Young Arthritis Network (YAN)

YAN is a great resource for older teens (18+) which focuses on everyday issues that young people living with arthritis face, including pregnancy, relationships and employment. But most of all, they provide a real opportunity for young people living with arthritis all around the country to get in touch with each other and benefit from a strong support network, with many opportunities to socialise and have fun too. Contact them at youngarthritis@arthritisireland.ie

Facebook

Parents and older teenagers can stay connected through the Arthritis Ireland Facebook page. It's a great way to stay in contact with other parents and young people affected by JA, whilst staying up-to-date on the latest developments in arthritis treatments
