Gender Identity

Support Group

Gender Identity is a monthly support group where transgender people meet to share and discuss their experiences, issues or any other matters in a safe space. The difficulties and discrimination facing transgender people are unique and can be severe. The aim of the group is to create a sense of connectivity among the members/ participants and reduce isolation. 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.
