Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month

July is Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month! This July, we invite you to honor Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month by supporting AiArthritis' ongoing efforts to drive patient-led solutions for juvenile arthritis families.

Arthritis is generally thought of as a disease that only affects older populations. However, there are juvenile versions of nearly all diseases under the AiArthritis umbrella. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), where the cause of the condition is unknown, is the most common type of juvenile arthritis with approximately 3 million cases worldwide*.

Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month plays a critical role in shining a light on common misconceptions and working towards better solutions for juvenile arthritis patients and caregivers. Join AiArthritis' efforts and be a voice for future generations!

Learn More About AiArthritis

All of AiArthritis' work is driven by patient-identified issues and patient-infused solutions. Through advocacy, education & awareness, and research, AiArthritis has the insight and experience necessary to drive meaningful change for juvenile arthritis patients.

Patient-led approach

No one can identify what a patient needs most more than those personally impacted by the diseases. So, we find a variety of ways to invite patient voices 'to the table' to ensure we are addressing issues that matter most to them and to give them opportunities to be as involved in our programs as possible. In turn, our community can take pride in knowing they helped develop the programs and resources that ultimately can improve their lives and the lives of 450 million people worldwide!

Global Network philosophy

We collaborate with other organizations, health professionals, and other groups as necessary to make sure the work we do creates the most impact.

Who do we help?

We help those diagnosed, their support network, and the undiagnosed ("Mystery Patients")... because everyone is undiagnosed before they are diagnosed.
