Publications

Collectively, pediatric rheumatologists across the country, as well as The Arthritis Society, have a number of useful publications and printed materials that my be useful to people interested in learning about arthritis in children.

We hope to make more and more of those resources available here, where you can view or download and print them at your own convenience.

• I Am Brave
  

  I am Brave: Children Living with Arthritis was developed by The Arthritis Society to give hope and inspiration to children living with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), commonly referred to as Juvenile Arthritis (JA). The book is also intended to raise awareness about this painful disorder so Canadians will develop a better understanding of the fact that arthritis is not just an old person’s disease.
