The Arthritis Foundation’s JA Family Day will provide a safe and secure experience for families of children and teens with juvenile arthritis and other childhood rheumatic diseases. Families and kids will have the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of juvenile arthritis, connect with others, increase independence and self-confidence, and discover new skills and interests. Bring the whole family!
