Not Defined By FND

Beginning in June, the FND Empowerment Circle will move to an updated twice-monthly schedule based on community feedback and accessibility improvements. Support groups will now meet on the first Wednesday of each month at 11:00 AM ET and the last Saturday of each month at 5:30 PM ET, offering a more balanced and accessible weekday/weekend option.

FND In Focus launches on FND Awareness Day as an annual video competition hosted by Not Defined by FND. Open to creators across the U.S., this initiative invites participants to create short videos that raise awareness about Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). The 2026–2027 theme “Flip the Script on FND” encourages storytelling, education, and advocacy through creative visual media.

Share how you explain Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) in your own words. During FND Awareness Month, we’re inviting the community to contribute personal, simple, and meaningful explanations to help others better understand FND. Submit your voice and explore how others describe their experiences—your words can make a difference. At the end of the month, we’ll turn the most liked explanations into free resources for the community.
