Event

This event takes place at Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus 600 River Avenue in Lakewood, James and Sharon Maida Geriatrics Institute Conference Room. When it comes to making changes to our health, some people feel more encouraged when surrounded by community, helping to hold them accountable. If the idea of communal support sounds intriguing to you, consider joining our newest continuing program series where we discuss monthly health goals!

2/5: Self-Efficacy - Our second meeting will be dedicated to self-efficacy, also known as the belief in one's ability to change. We will discuss our current habit patterns, behavior change adherence so far, and how to increase our personal self-efficacy. Over the next 10 months of 2026, we will have monthly check-ins to discuss challenges and successes as we try to reach out goals. Our final meeting will be at the end of 2026 where we reflect on the year.

3/5: The Process of Change - Our third meeting will be dedicated to learning the processes of change when it comes to health goals. We will discuss our current habit patterns, behavior change adherence so far, and the 10 processes of change used in health behavior change theory. Over the next 9 months of 2026, we will have monthly check-ins to discuss challenges and successes as we try to reach out goals. Our final meeting will be at the end of 2025 where we reflect on the year.
