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!

Thank you Grace for sharing this great FND advice for healthcare providers.

April is FND Awareness Month and FND Hope is shining a light on Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)! Throughout the month, we are spreading education, awareness, and information about FND, a complex neurological condition that affects millions worldwide. FND can manifest in a variety of symptoms, including weakness, tremors, and sensory disturbances, impacting individuals' daily lives and functioning. As we strive to deepen our understanding of FND, let's foster empathy, support, and advocacy for those living with this condition. Join us this April in spreading awareness, educating others, and showing support for the FND community. 💙 #FNDawareness #FNDAware #NeurologicalHealth #SupportCommunity
