About FND Hope International
FND Hope International is the first and only global charity for people with Functional Neurological Disorder. Originating as a grassroots campaign, it uncovers the hidden world of FND and empowers those affected to live their best possible life. April 30, 2012, FND Hope was created to unite people diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder [FND]/Conversion Disorder [CD]. Our website, fndhope.org, was just the beginning of what later became the first registered charity in the world advocating for those with functional symptoms. Content for fndhope.org is written by patients, caregivers, advocates and doctors/researchers who come together to promote better treatment and care for those battling FND.
FND Hope’s Global Initiative
FND Hope International, FND Hope US, FND Hope UK, FND Hope Canada, and FND Hope Australia are all committed to the health and well-being of those with functional symptoms. 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 by physical and often debilitating functional symptoms. FND Hope and affiliates provide current information and dispel biased stereotypes and myths.
Together, we are a force for change, uniting the FND community in the pursuit of empowering and improving the health of those diagnosed with FND. Since our website went live on the 13th of April, we have become a fast-growing community.
