Natalie recently attended the 2025 Functional Neurological Disorder Symposium in Brisbane to help develop our understanding on this often-misunderstood neurological condition.

Such a valuable event for networking and learning with some brilliant presentations including individuals with lived experience.

Do you live with FND? Or perhaps want to learn more about how to support those living with FND? A great starting point is the journey is the Renew Neuro webinar available at https://renewneuro.com.au/fnd

It’s Invisible Disabilities Week (19–25 October)! 🌻

Around 80–85% of people with a disability have one that isn’t visible. These include neurological, cognitive, sensory, mental health, and chronic conditions that aren’t always immediately apparent.

Not all disabilities are visible — but a little understanding and kindness can go a long way in making everyone feel seen and supported.

We are proud to fly the flag for International Pronouns Day!

🌈💬 International Pronouns Day 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Today is International Pronouns Day, a reminder that respecting and using someone’s correct pronouns is a simple, but powerful act of inclusion and care. 💜

For our LGBTIQA+ Sistergirl and Brotherboy communities, names and identities carry deep cultural and personal meaning. Starting with language and pronouns, we can create better, gentler spaces where everyone can feel seen, safer, and more valued. 🌿✨

💬 They/Them. She/Her. He/Him. We all do better, respecting each other.
Let’s keep learning, listening, and affirming each other, every day.
