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 three-part 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 Seven:
Supporting Children with FND: A Polyvagal-Informed Approach to Co-Regulation and Care
January 9, 2027 | 11:00 AM MT
This session is a one-hour facilitated dialogue with Dr. Moenter for parents and caregivers of children living with functional neurological disorder (FND).
Using a polyvagal-informed perspective, the session will explore how safety, connection, stress responses, and co-regulation may influence a child’s experience of symptoms and daily life. We will discuss practical ways caregivers can support regulation, respond calmly during symptom episodes, and help children build a greater sense of safety and confidence.
Topics will include co-regulation, recognising signs of overwhelm, supporting transitions and routines, communicating with schools and healthcare providers, balancing reassurance with independence, and caring for caregivers’ own wellbeing. The session will be supportive and solution-focused, with sharing optional—attendees are welcome to participate simply by listening.
