Juvenile Arthritis (JIA) - Kids get Arthritis too!

The National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) was founded in 2001 and is the only UK charity specifically devoted to supporting adults and their families living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and children, young people and their families affected by juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and the health professionals treating RA and JIA.

How can JIA-at-NRAS help? If you are a parent/carer of a child or young person (under 16) who has recently been diagnosed and you have more questions than answers, then please get in touch through email, text or telephone. Our service is free and confidential.

We have a number of free information booklets including 'JIA Explained', ' Medicines in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis' and 'Managing JIA in School'; these can be downloaded from our website or sent as hardcopy in the post.
