Livewire Online Support for Young People and the "Stepping Out" New Booklet Launch
Livewire and Arthritis Australia have launched a partnership to help young people affected by arthritis and their families find peer support online.
Arthritis Australia is the peak arthritis organisation in Australia supported by Affiliate offices in each state and territory. Arthritis Australia provides support to people living with arthritis as well as their families and friends, advocates on their behalf, funds research into causes, treatment and possible cures, and informs and educates health professionals on arthritis.
The partnership will allow Livewire to coordinate engagement activities at a national level to better support young people living with Arthritis and their families.
Livewire is an online support group for young people and their families affected by serious illness, chronic health condition or disability. For more information about this support group please click here.
The timing of this announcement coincides with Arthritis Australia’s launch of a new booklet for young adults called “Stepping Out”. It is specifically designed to contain input from young people with Arthritis who have overcome many of the same challenges others may be facing today.
