FND Dimensions aims to develop a network of ‘peer support groups’ across the UK either in face to face meetings or online via methods such as Skype. By bringing people together on a regular basis, this helps alleviate the isolation that many FND patients feel. It also gives  opportunity  for others to open up dialog and to talk to others in a similar position about the day to day challenges, issues or concerns with one another.
