Challenging Arthritis is a new self-management program developed by Arthritis NSW to assist you in managing your arthritis and improving your health.

This innovative program is being developed in two stages.

This is the first stage and the program is being conducted as a pilot study.

If the results are satisfactory the program will be enhanced by stage two which will include four additional modules.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF JOINING UP AND PARTICIPATING IN THE “CHALLENGING ARTHRITIS” ONLINE PROGRAM?
