Resources in Additional Languages

This page provides information about arthritis in additional languages for people living with arthritis, their caregivers or healthcare providers.  These resources have been adapted for cultural relevance in consultation with community partners, so the content may vary slightly from our resources in English and French.   

We continue to expand the languages offered and will be updating this webpage with new resources as they become available.
