Find your community of support

Arthritis Connections is a peer support program that brings together people impacted by arthritis to share experiences, gain emotional support, and learn from others through online peer support groups.

Led by trained volunteers who understand arthritis firsthand, peer support groups occur online at various times throughout the month, creating a safe space where you can connect with others who truly understand your journey. These supportive communities help reduce isolation and empower you to better manage arthritis through shared knowledge and encouragement.

Ready to connect with others who understand?

It takes three simple steps:

  1. Sign up for a free account on Jane to view and book one of our upcoming support groups.
  2. Choose the group that interests you the most. Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email with your Zoom link to join.
  3. Return to Jane and book additional dates. After attending your first peer support group, continue attending groups by viewing and booking future dates and times that work for you. 

Peer support groups do not offer medical advice. Please discuss any health-related decisions or concerns with your healthcare team.
