Connect. Learn. Find strength, together.

“Connecting with people who could actually relate is something that I never knew I wanted but found out that I desperately needed.”

You are not alone. Wherever you are in your child’s rheumatic disease journey, the chance to talk with other families who truly understand can be life-changing. Our online community is a safe place to ask your questions, share your fears, celebrate your successes and even just learn and share the experiences of others.

Cassie + Friends has been connecting parents and youth living with rheumatic conditions since 2007. If we’ve learned one thing it’s that – while every child is unique – we’re all just parents fighting a similar battle and we are stronger together.

Start connecting now on in our private online community. A place where you can:

• Connect with other families with children struggling with arthritis and other rheumatic diseases, both in your area and around the country.
• Learn more from trusted research and information sources, approved and provided by your pediatric rheumatology health teams.
• Advocate for your child and family with the support of resources and information about ways you can educate your community to better support your child.
