What We Do

FND Hope International is the first and only global charity for people with Functional Neurological Disorder. Our grassroots campaign is changing the FND world and empowering those affected to live their best possible life. We are uniting patients, their families, leading researchers and advocates to pioneer a new standard of care for FND throughout the world.

FND Hope advocates for the men, women, and children who have had their lives altered by physical and often debilitating functional symptoms. Illness has no boundaries, and Functional Neurological Disorder does not care about age, gender, ethnicity, education level or wealth.

There is power in numbers and we strive to unite those with FND and their supporters to build our FND community. Together we are a force for change, uniting those with FND and their supporters to build a strong FND community. We at FND Hope thank each and everyone that is working toward this common goal.

Through our support pages we, at FND Hope, welcome each individual into a place where they feel a sense of  belonging.

We give our members a voice. We lend them our ear. We give everyone a place to call their own and a place to feel secure. We give people the courage to keep going and the strength they need to endure each day.

Most of all, though…

We give hope.

Provide Support

Our website houses a wealth of FND Health information and more.

  • Peer to peer support
  • Webinars with FND Specialists
  • Patient Health Information 
  • FND Patient Booklet -Patients are often frustrated after being diagnosed and sent home with little to no information about FND, so we created the first FND Patient Booklet. The booklet is an easy to ready overview about FND.

Build Awareness

We promote awareness of FND through education and raising public understanding. We are dedicated to supporting those individuals affected with functional symptoms by advancing research for the prevention, treatment and recovery of FND.

  • April International Awareness Month –Our first Awareness campaign started in 2013 with members from the USA, Australia and UK. In 2019 our awareness campaign included members from over 100 countries.
  • FND Warriors share their stories.
