Benjamin Rose

This Mental Health Month, Benjamin Rose is proud to spotlight one of the newest members of our Behavioral Health Services team, Community Psychiatric Supportive Treatment Specialist Nathan McClintock.

When asked what supports his own mental well-being, Nathan shared, “Running has always been my go-to in terms of supporting my mental well-being.”

He also encourages older adults to stay socially connected to support their mental health. “Visiting one of our Rose Centers for Aging could help with this!”

Thank you, Nathan, for supporting older adults in our community and helping promote the importance of mental health and connection at every age.

Caring for someone with cancer can feel overwhelming, and every journey is different. It helps to understand the diagnosis, manage side effects like fatigue or nausea and plan for practical needs such as transportation, meals and paperwork. One of the most meaningful ways to support your loved one is simply by listening and being present through uncertainty and change.

In celebration of Older Americans Month and this year’s theme, “Champion Your Health,” Benjamin Rose Senior Companions recently explored ways to stay active and connected through nature.

A speaker from the Cleveland Metroparks shared information about accessible outdoor activities and adaptive equipment that help make parks and trails more inclusive for everyone.

From trying adaptive bikes to learning new ways to enjoy the outdoors, Senior Companions experienced firsthand how staying active and socially connected can support healthy aging.

This Mental Health Month, we are proud to spotlight our newest Therapist, Mary Beth White.

Mary Beth supports her mental well-being by spending time with people she enjoys, laughing often, visiting the lake or ocean to relax and watching comedy movies.

She encourages older adults to listen to their minds and bodies, make time for activities that bring happiness and stay socially connected. “Humans need to be around other humans,” she shared. “Make a phone call to a family member or visit an old friend.”

We are grateful to Mary Beth for sharing these reminders about the value of rest, joy and staying connected with others.

Today, we honor and remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Wishing you a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

In observance of the holiday, Benjamin Rose offices will be closed today.

May is Mental Health Month, and we’re proud to spotlight Chris Couture, behavioral health clinical supervisor at Benjamin Rose.

Chris encourages making time for small daily habits that support well-being. “I read for at least 30 minutes before I go to sleep every night — only fiction,” she said.

For older adults looking to support their mental health, Chris recommends increasing activity, whether physical or social. “It doesn’t have to be a large amount,” she said. “Calling a friend or doing chair yoga are good examples of activities to improve mood.”
