Anxiety Support Group
Our anxiety support group offer attendees the opportunity to discuss their anxiety and help them learn how to deal with their fears, knowing they are not alone. The caring and sharing of the group offers relief from isolation and loneliness. Carers are invited to contact the administrator to discuss possible attendance. Each MHFA Support Group is free.

Troubleshooting tips for Online Meetings
- If you are having trouble connecting you could try clearing your browser cache.
- There are instructions for this for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari.
- You could also try restarting the Zoom app on your computer or mobile device.
- Zoom do offer some technical support with a knowledge base and customer support.
Unfortunately the MHFA can do very little to assist with connection issues as Zoom is a 3rd party application and out of our control.
