Attention RA Warriors & Caregivers! Your Daily Life Matters — Learn How to Live It Better! Join us for the RA Support Group Public Forum.
Topic: “The Role of Occupational Therapy for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Patients and Specific Strategies That Can Benefit RA Patients”
Date: Saturday, 26th July 2025
Time: 1.00pm – 4.00pm
Venue: Room 8, Level 3, Bangunan Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, 16 Jalan Utara, 46200 Petaling Jaya.
Speaker: Ms Eunice Yap, Head of Occupational Therapy, Hospital Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Why You Should Attend: Occupational Therapy (OT) is more than support — it’s empowerment. The aim of OT is to help you live your best life with RA by:
- Improving your ability to perform daily activities
- Preventing functional limitations and joint deformities
- Helping you adapt to lifestyle changes
- Supporting your emotional and psychosocial well-being
- Fostering autonomy and independence in self-care
- Helping you engage in meaningful activities that matter to YOU
Due to the systemic and lifelong nature of RA, a multidisciplinary approach is key — and Occupational Therapy plays a vital role in managing the disease’s impact on your body, mind, and everyday living.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or navigating long-term challenges, this talk will offer real strategies, useful tools, and fresh hope.
Registration is open to all RA patients and their caregivers with a donation of RM10.00 per person.
Confirmed only upon receipt of payment. Non-refundable in the event of cancellation.
