WELCOME TO FND HOPE USA

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.

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.  Below are a few resources to help the FND community in local, state, or national systems advocacy.  If you have additional questions regarding advocacy efforts, please email FND Hope US Director, Amanda Hopper at amanda@fndhope.org.
