In partnership with Cassie and Friends, our research team is launching a series of studies looking at resilience & risk in JIA.
Our goal is to learn more about how youth with arthritis cope with and manage their pain and what factors within youth and their caregivers (e.g., personality, relationships) help them develop resilience (i.e., the ability to recover from challenges).
