Workshops & Events
Calm, accessible learning and connection for the FND community
Healing Horizons for FND intends to offer workshops and events that support understanding, connection, and skill-building for people living with FND, caregivers, families, and professionals.
At this stage, we are developing our programming approach, partnerships, and facilitation model. While no workshops or events are currently scheduled, this page outlines how future offerings will be designed and delivered in keeping with HHFFND’s values.
When workshops and events are offered, they will be guided by the same principles that shape all HHFFND programs:
- calm and predictable structure
- trauma-informed and FND-friendly pacing
- accessibility and inclusion
- optional participation with no pressure to speak
- respect for fluctuating capacity
- community-centred connection
We are committed to ensuring that all learning opportunities feel safe, supportive, and manageable for participants.
As programming develops, workshops may explore topics such as:
- understanding Functional Neurological Disorder
- coping tools and grounding strategies
- movement and rehabilitation principles presented accessibly
- navigating school, work, and daily life with FND
- family and caregiver support and communication
- collaboration with healthcare providers and educators
Content will be designed to be practical, respectful, and grounded in lived experience.
Future workshops and events may be offered for:
- people living with FND
- parents and caregivers
- siblings and family members
- educators and school staff
- healthcare professionals
- community partners and volunteers
Where possible, we will tailor sessions to specific age groups or roles to ensure relevance and accessibility.
Most HHFFND workshops and events are expected to be delivered online to ensure accessibility across Canada.
When appropriate, we may also explore:
- hybrid learning opportunities
- recorded resources for flexible access
- small, interactive group formats
- facilitated Q&A sessions
All delivery methods will prioritize clarity, pacing, and emotional safety.
As HHFFND’s programming develops, updates about workshops and events will be shared through:
- our website
- program announcements
- community communications
If you are interested in future learning opportunities, please check back regularly for updates.
Growing With You
Although no workshops or events are currently scheduled, Healing Horizons for FND is laying the groundwork for thoughtful, accessible learning opportunities that will support the FND community.
As we grow, we will continue to develop programs that honour lived experience, foster connection, and provide clear, practical, and compassionate education, always at a pace that respects the wellbeing of everyone involved.
