“I recently took part in the Workplace Rights Workshop. I found this to be extremely informative and beneficial. I feel in a much better position, particularly in terms of understanding Government Legislation etc and how this relates to FND.
 
I feel that anyone with FND would really benefit from the session, whether currently in work or in preparation for returning after absence.
Massive thank you, Kerryn."
