Community support

Start or find a support group near you

Connecting with others who truly understand can make all the difference. Whether you want to set up a local arthritis support group or find one in your area, we're here to help you take that first step.

Why support groups matter

Living with arthritis can feel isolating — but you don't have to face it alone. Local support groups offer a safe, welcoming space to share experiences, swap practical tips, and simply be understood by people who get it.

Shared understanding

Connect with people who truly know what it's like to live with arthritis day to day.

Practical advice

Share tips on managing flares, medication, appointments, and daily life.

Emotional support

Reduce isolation and build friendships with others in your community.

Local connections

Meet people in your area — whether online or in person, close to home.

You don't need any special qualifications to start a support group — just a desire to bring people together. We'll support you every step of the way.
