What we’re about

Dear Valued Community Members,

As someone who understands the challenges of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), where the brain and body miscommunicate leading to life-changing symptoms, I know first-hand how crucial support and connection are. Since starting our support group in 2022 out of my own journey with FND, we've grown from a small initiative into a registered non-profit company in South Africa, working alongside organisations like The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) to make a real difference.

While our Meetup page will be concluding on December 31st, 2024, our mission remains unchanged: providing support, compiling resources, and advocating for improved healthcare treatments for those affected by FND.

Moving forward, you'll continue to receive the same quality support through these enhanced channels:

  1. Weekly Support Meetings
    • Every Tuesday at 7pm
    • Hour-long sessions featuring curated content, talks, presentations, and guest speakers
    • Now hosted via Google Meet and MS Teams
  2. Membership Process
    • Initial video call screening for new members
    • Completion of our Intake Form
    • Regular email updates and communications
  3. Direct Support
  4. Social Media Presence
    • Follow @fndwhatnow on:
      • Instagram
      • Facebook
      • Threads
      • Join conversations using #fndwhatnow

Remember, FND is a complex condition, but you don't have to navigate it alone. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been on this journey for years, our community remains a place where experiences are shared, strength is found, and hope is renewed.

To ensure you don't miss any updates about our meetings, resources, or FND insights, please follow us on your preferred social media platforms and keep our contact information handy.

Thank you for being part of this supportive community. We look forward to continuing our journey together through these new channels, remaining as committed as ever to supporting each other through the challenges of FND.

We're so glad you found us! 😊

Best wishes,
Audrey
