  • Real life stories from young adults living with a range of conditions, some diagnosed as children and others as adults;
  • A greater focus on mental and emotional health via a new section, “Heart & Soul“;
  • A complementary confidential Facebook group, “Arthur’s Place Social“, which is already hosting chats between over a hundred young adults, offering friendly support and ideas on how to better engage with treatment and relate well to the doctors, nurses and other specialists caring for them;
  • A growing community of rheumatology professionals engaging with Arthur’s Place on Twitter
