Designed To Help You..

- deal with the difficulties you encounter at work because of arthritis.

- maintain employment, for as long as you wish to work.

Program Objectives

First, we believe that there are things that YOU can do to help yourself at work.

Second, we believe that dealing with difficulties and taking action early on is most helpful.

Interactive Self-management

The program is not a general education program about arthritis. It will not provide general information, and it is not another Arthritis Self-Management Program (ASMP).

Although we use a similar approach - helping you better self-manage - this program deals specifically with matters related to employment for people with arthritis.

Support To Meet Your Needs

We want to help you. To ensure our program would meet the needs of people with inflammatory arthritis, we researched the problems that have been experienced.

The program is also based on what is known to increase the risk of becoming work disabled - unable to work because of arthritis. This information comes from research studies of arthritis and employment.
