RESOURCE GUIDE
Looking for help navigating your treatment journey? Here’s your road map to finding support when you need it.
Dedicated help every step of the way
Once you and your doctor have decided STELARA® is right for you, resources may be available to help you throughout your treatment journey.
After you sign up, your STELARA withMe Nurse Navigator will contact you within 1 to 2 business days. Your dedicated STELARA withMe Nurse Navigator will listen to your needs and offer support and resources that are available to you, all with YOUR treatment journey in mind.
STELARA withMe is limited to education about STELARA®, its administration, and/or the condition it treats. It is not intended to provide medical advice, replace a treatment plan you receive from your doctor or nurse, or serve as a reason for you to start or stay on treatment.
Injections after the first IV dose
Self-injecting after your one-time IV infusion? Watch our video overview of self-injecting and sign up for additional in-person injection training and support.
If your doctor decided that you or your caregiver can give you your injections of STELARA® at home, you should receive training on the proper way to prepare and inject STELARA®. Your STELARA withMe Nurse Navigator can answer most of your questions about self-injections and can even conduct in-person training.
Be sure to read the Medication Guide
and Instructions for Use thoroughly prior
to injecting. You can also check out our video overview of self-injecting.

Bathroom access when it’s most urgent
Learn about the law that gets you bathroom access when you need it most.
When a 14-year-old Crohn’s disease patient named Ally was denied restroom access at a popular Chicago mall, she decided to act.
In 2005, the Restroom Access Act—also known as Ally’s Law—was passed. It states that retail stores that do not have a public restroom must provide access to their employee restroom to any person with a medical condition, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. As of March 2023, it has been passed into law in 20 states and the District of Columbia. Included here is a restroom access card that will assert your legal right to a bathroom in those states.
States that enforce Ally’s Law:
- California
- Colorado
- Connecticut
- Delaware
- District of Columbia
- Illinois
- Kentucky
- Louisiana
- Maine
- Maryland
- Massachusetts
- Michigan
- Minnesota
- New Hampshire
- New York
- Ohio
- Oregon
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Washington
- Wisconsin
Don't see your state on the list? You can reach out to the state legislature to see if they would consider supporting the adoption of Ally’s Law.
