Free online courses to support arthritis sufferers

Arthritis Ireland will deliver a series of free online self-management courses starting in May to support people with arthritis during Covid-19.

The ‘Living Well with Arthritis’ course gives people with arthritis the tools and techniques to help them better manage their condition. This includes managing pain and fatigue and developing a healthy lifestyle.

The award-winning course, which is usually delivered in person in a community setting, will be delivered online via Zoom. The first course starts on Monday, 10 May.

According to course leader, Rachel Dungan, “Like the in-person workshop, the online course features a lot of groupwork and interaction between the participants. It is a very rewarding experience.

“Since no cure exists, learning to live well with arthritis is crucial to ensuring you have a good quality of life,” Ms Dungan stated.
