Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month 2026

💙👧👦 This month, we join the global community in raising awareness of Juvenile Arthritis (JA) and supporting the children and families affected by it.

Led by organisations such as the Arthritis Foundation, this year’s campaign highlights an important message: “Kids Get Arthritis, Too.” Many people don’t realise that arthritis can affect children, even infants.

🏫 Missed school days
💉 Frequent treatments and hospital visits
😴 Fatigue and chronic pain
💭 Emotional and social challenges

These are just some of the realities many young people with JA face every day.

💡 Living well with JA requires more than medical treatment alone. Physical activity, nutrition, pain management, emotional wellbeing, family support, and access to appropriate healthcare all play an important role in helping children thrive.

🤝At the ENDOTARGET EU Project, we are committed to advancing research into chronic inflammation and rheumatic diseases, contributing to a future where earlier diagnosis, better treatments, and improved quality of life are possible for patients of all ages.

🩵 This month, let’s help raise awareness, support affected families, and remind the world that kids get arthritis, too.
