Hidden Disabilities Sunflower - Canada

Arthritis isn’t “just for older people.”

On the Sunflower Conversations podcast Marc Williams, Arthritis Action shares how arthritis can affect people at any age. And because it’s often invisible, many people living with arthritis are left having to explain their pain, fatigue, or need for support.

There are over 100 types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Symptoms can include pain, swelling, stiffness, and joints that feel hot or red.

A Sunflower card is a simple, discreet way to communicate that you may need extra understanding, patience, or support. For people with non-visible conditions such as Arthritis, it can help others recognise that additional time, space, or understanding may be helpful in certain situations. It's a small card that can make everyday experiences feel a little easier. 🌻

This month, we’re raising awareness of Arthritis 🌻

Arthritis is a term used to describe conditions that affect the joints and can cause symptoms such as pain, stiffness, swelling and difficulty with movement. For some people, these experiences and support needs may not be immediately visible, and they can vary from day to day.

An estimated 607 million people globally are living with osteoarthritis, making it one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions globally. And around 17.6 million people are living with rheumatoid arthritis.

At Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, we’re proud to support greater awareness, understanding and inclusion for people living with arthritis and other non-visible disabilities.
