Support Groups

Support groups are the place to find people who provide us with understanding, compassion and encouragement. So, if you need to be educated, motivated, celebrated or rededicated, please come to our support groups every month to learn and/or to share your challenging experience. Talking to existing or new patients in support groups helps to open up your struggles & thoughts, improve your self-esteem, reduce anxiety that will bring the encouragement and reinforcement you need to succeed in changing your lifestyle behaviors. Always remember that this is the place & time to ask questions!

Our topics for discussion include nutrition guidelines & management, how to incorporate regular exercise into your daily lives, mental health therapy, key role of family support, short and long-term goals, etc. By continuing to work with our team, you will be able to work through any challenges and adapt to lifestyle changes.

When:   4th Wednesday of each month
Time:     6:30 p.m.
Where:  CentraState Medical Center, Star & Barry Tobias Ambulatory/Health Awareness Center
901 West Main Street
Freehold, NJ 07728

Feel free to bring friends and family! We look forward to seeing you all!

We are planning to have a Support Group in person! It will take place at CentraState Medical Center in the Health Awareness Center.

Masks, obviously, are required. Your temperature will be checked prior to entry. If you or any family member has had a fever, or a recent onset of respiratory problems such as a cough or difficulty breathing, or known exposure to travel, please stay home, get better, and we will see you next month if everything is ok.

Please RSVP so that we will have an idea of whether to set up 1 or 2 rooms.

Stay safe and we will see you soon!
