JA Transition Toolkit

The Juvenile Arthritis Transition Toolkit provides education and resources to prepare and empower teens and young adults with arthritis and related rheumatic diseases during their health and everyday-life transition from childhood to adulthood, especially when preparing to enter the world of adult medical care. This Toolkit and additional resources are designed to support youth and their families develop the skills needed as teens and young adults strive for independence and control in their health care and beyond.
