About this booklet

At Arthritis Ireland, one of our goals is to reach out to everyone affected by juvenile idiopathic arthritis (also known as JIA and will be referred to as this for the remainder of this booklet) at the beginning of their journey and whenever needed along the way. Our aim is to support those with JIA to live as normal a life as possible, through understanding their disease and learning how to self-manage effectively so that they can achieve the goals they want in life.

This booklet has been created with the shared expertise and knowledge from parents, healthcare professionals and JIA-at-NRAS (National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society) staff in the UK. It has been reviewed and verified for Ireland by the paediatric rheumatology team in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin. This publication was created without input from AbbVie. The content and views expressed are those of Arthritis Ireland, not of AbbVie.
