April 30, 2012, FND Hope was created to unite people diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder [FND]. Our website was just the beginning of what later became the first registered charity in the world advocating for those with functional symptoms. Content for FND Hope is written by patients, caregivers, advocates and doctors/researchers who come together to promote better treatment and care for those battling FND.
FND Hope Inc is a 501c3 registered charity in the United States. FND Hope US is committed to the health and well-being of those with functional symptoms in the United States. We have joined forces with others in a global network to advocate best practices for ethical patient-centered care for FND. We aim to change how functional symptoms are understood and defined globally and work in a concerted manner to advocate for the men, women, and children who have had their lives turned upside down by physical and often debilitating functional symptoms.
April is FND Awareness Month – a month devoted to raising awareness about Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). Explore opportunities to support the month, from virtual events to fundraising initiatives, educational campaigns, and advocacy actions. Let’s unite to spread awareness, support those affected, and foster understanding throughout the month of April. Click the link below to get involved.
Advocacy involves promoting the interests or cause of someone or a group of people. An advocate is a person who argues for, recommends, or supports a cause or policy. FND Hope supports advocacy efforts for funding, research, patient support, and services specific to Functional Neurological Disorder.
If you would like to advocate for FND, below are a few resources to help you get started. Please email FND Hope US Director, Amanda Hopper at amanda@fndhope.org for questions.
OBTAINING A PROCLAMATION IN RECOGNITION OF FND AWARENESS
A proclamation is a public announcement document to make certain information known to others. Obtaining a proclamation by a governor or other public official helps us to get the word out about Functional Neurological Disorder.
Learn how to obtain a proclamation in your state or local area.
To enhance operations within the United States, FND Hope is introducing a new US Board of Directors. This strategic move aims to make our decision-making more efficient and sharpen our focus on US initiatives. FND Hope US is excited to welcome: Meagan Watson, Michele Price, Kim Kamen, Jilani Zeribi, Dr. Shilpa Chitnis, Ilene Engle, and Angela McKellip.
FND Hope US offers weekly options for peer support, educational workshops, classes, and more.
On October 9th and 10th, 2021, FND Hope hosted a two-day conference featuring presentations, panel, round table and open discussions on topics related to functional seizures (FS), also referred to as non-epileptic seizures (NES). Thank you to all those who attended the conference!
Please check the NES Conference Playlist at the FND Hope YouTube Channel for access to the recordings.
