If you are a young person between 12 and 18 with arthritis, this residential workshop could be just the thing for you. We understand that your arthritis can affect how you feel about yourself – and this course is designed to help you build your confidence and find some solutions.
‘I loved it – it made me feel like I am not alone.’
What is it?
We are offering the chance to get together with other young people with arthritis – people who know what you are going through – and talk through the difficult, personal stuff. We talk through issues and carry out easy exercises to help us reach conclusions about what we want from life and how we can go about it. Most importantly, there is plenty of time for relaxing and socialising with the group – as well as developing those all important new skills.
What does the workshop cover?
The programme will vary each time as it is tailored to what the participants want. In general, we look at:
- self-esteem
- relationships
- decision-making
- confidence building
And what will it cost me?
All our workshops are free to attend. We obtain funding from various bodies which covers our running costs so it doesn’t cost you anything.
If it’s free, how do I know it’s any good?
We know it’s great because the people that take part in our workshops tell us they’ve enjoyed themselves and feel more confident about their condition. Our records show they go on to make use of what they have learned – see for yourself. And we don’t leave you high and dry afterwards – we keep in touch so you still have some support available once the workshop is over.
It sounds great, how can I sign up?
Take a look at our course calendar and use the information there to complete our form for young people. If there isn’t anything available near you, please still send us your form. This means we can keep track of demand and keep you up to date with announcements of any new courses and workshops.
