The Juvenile Arthritis Forum is designed for parents and caregivers of children who have Juvenile Arthritis, as well as adults who have had JA since childhood. It's a place where we can share our stories, medical histories, updates, and other relevant information that's likely to be helpful to those who have or know a child with arthritis.

If your child has recently been diagnosed you may be feeling somewhat relieved to finally have a name and explanation for the symptoms your child has had. At the same time, you may very well have some new concerns. We offer a safe & friendly environment where you will meet others who've gone through similar situations, where we can talk with people who know & truly understand what we're going through.

Perhaps you've had a hard time finding current medical information & you still have many unanswered questions. Maybe your child has had arthritis for several years & you'd like, in some way, to be able to help others who are new to this. Perhaps you've had JRA since childhood & now, as an adult, you'd like to share some of what you've learned from your experiences with others who are needing this type of support.

If so, I hope you'll consider joining us. The Juvenile Arthritis Forum is a convenient way to meet online & communicate with one another via email. We're a friendly, supportive network of concerned people sharing information and first-hand experiences regarding JA.
