Mental Health in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Digital Interventions

The Space in Rheumatoid Arthritis from Depression programme has been designed and tailored for individuals living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are experiencing co-morbid symptoms of depression.

The programme aims to relieve these depressive symptoms by:

• Focusing on developing more flexible ways of thinking, not only in relation to the individual’s condition but in other aspects of their life
• Increasing awareness and understanding of emotions
• Increasing activity and motivation in daily life, in the context of physical limitations that can occur while taking into consideration the limitations to capacity that can occur in when living with RA.

The programme is accessible 24/7, allowing users to access the programme at a time that suits them and in the comfort of their own home.
