A Q&A series with Dr. Afra Moenter for individuals with Functional Neurological Disorder, their care partners, and supporters.
Living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) often brings questions that don't have simple answers. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with FND for years, understanding your nervous system can help you navigate your experiences with greater clarity, compassion, and confidence.
Join Dr. Afra Moenter for this live Q&A series designed to provide practical education, meaningful discussion, and an opportunity to ask your questions in a supportive community.
Each session explores a different aspect of living with FND through a nervous system-informed lens. Attend the sessions that interest you most or join us for the entire series.
Session Six:
Explaining FND to Family, Friends, Schools, and Employers
December 19 | 11:00 AM MT
This one-hour webinar will offer practical guidance on explaining functional neurological disorder (FND) to family members, friends, schools, and employers. Participants will learn how to describe FND in clear, accessible language, respond to misconceptions or stigma, communicate changing needs, and decide how much personal information they wish to share.
The session will also explore ways to discuss symptoms, request appropriate accommodations, set boundaries, and advocate for support in education and the workplace. Attendees will be encouraged to develop a simple explanation or communication plan that reflects their individual experience, with practical examples and optional opportunities for questions. Participants are welcome to join simply by listening.
