Evidence based resources and support for FND affected whanau in Aotearoa
Functional Neurological Disorder is now the most common reason to be referred to a neurologist in Aotearoa.
Therefore we believe that FND is likely to be a/the primary cause of disability in Aotearoa.
It's time to start looking compassionately at this problem, updating practitioners with new scientific information, and offering our community members the respect and appropriate treatment that they are entitled to under the laws of our nation.
This is Aotearoa/New Zealand's comprehensive local resource for
Functional Neurological Disorder patients, their whanau and their medics.
We choose the Kaku Kiwi, our nation's ceremonial kiwi feather cloak, to represent our mission. The beautiful garment shown here is held at Te Papa and may be as old as our young nation.
Our Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) community has been isolated, excluded and unsupported for too long. Our mission is to wrap our FND whanau in a cloak of warmth and protection, and in doing so restore ora/health and mana/dignity in our people. Every one of us is a golden kiwi worthy of love, care and respect.
