Support Groups
Arthritis WA has a number of support groups which are led by a trained volunteer leader. These groups provide participants with the opportunity to meet regularly with others in a similar situation. If you would like the opportunity to:
- Talk freely about your experiences and feelings in a safe non-judgmental environment
- Share helpful hints and practical tips
- Receive and give encouragement and support to others
- Socialise and make new friends
