Samen met de stichting FND Hope International en de Nederlandse Stichting FNS Functioneel Neurologische Stoornis zetten we deze maand FNS op de kaart tijdens de FNS Awareness Maand! Met een groep strijdlustige vrouwen die ook (ooit) de diagnose FNS hebben gehad, waar ik sinds vorig jaar ook toe behoor, hebben we de maand vormgegeven en o.a. media benaderd. Een aantal mijlpalen zijn de webinars en meetings voor patiënten, ouders en partners die zullen plaatsvinden. Dus heb je FNS, ken je iemand met FNS of ben je als zorgverlener geïnteresseerd, meld je dan aan via onderstaande informatie of deel de post!
Het is FNS Awareness Maand! De hele maand april wordt extra aandacht gevraagd voor FNS en streven we naar meer bewustzijn en begrip. Over de hele wereld worden gebouwen verlicht in blauw en oranje, de internationale kleuren van FNS. In Nederland worden verschillende boeiende webinars georganiseerd. Ook zijn er online meetings voor lotgenoten, speciaal ingericht voor FNS patiënten en hun dierbaren. Mis het niet en meld je nu aan via https://lnkd.in/eZWQr5Jw! Samen zorgen we voor meer bekendheid en begrip voor FNS. Deel daarom deze maand een bericht over FNS met hierin jouw verhaal, ervaringen of steun voor FNS en gebruik de hashtags #FNSherstel #FNDaware en #StichtingFNS en vergeet ons vooral niet te taggen!
