Starting the conversation can be the most difficult—yet most important—step. When a loved one is struggling with mental health, substance use, or an eating disorder, knowing how to approach the topic with empathy can make all the difference. At Rosecrance Therapies, we understand the emotional weight families carry. That’s why we’ve put together guidance for initiating these critical conversations with compassion, clarity, and respect. Here are a few key tips we share: ✔️ Choose a calm, private setting ✔️ Lead with care ✔️ Listen actively and without trying to “fix” ✔️ Offer support and actionable next steps ✔️ Be patient Our licensed clinicians offer evidence-based, person-centered therapy both in person and virtually, helping individuals and families take the next step toward healing.

We’re excited to share that Bob Poznanovich, one of the most respected leaders in behavioral health, is bringing his 30+ years of experience to help us build on our century-long legacy of expanding access to high-quality care. His leadership will play a key role as we strengthen partnerships, reduce barriers, and continue advancing our mission to make compassionate, evidence-based behavioral healthcare available to all. If you were at the Behavioral Health Tech Conference 2025 in San Diego this week, you may have seen Bob on a powerful panel discussion exploring the rising investment employers are making in behavioral health. He also spoke passionately about advocating for people in recovery and for those who continue to struggle in silence, held back by stigma, fear of workplace consequences, or the overwhelming complexity of navigating care. His impact in this field is undeniable. As Dave Gomel, CEO of Rosecrance Behavioral Health, said: “Bob Poznanovich is one of the best in the business when it comes to strengthening care delivery and expanding access. We’re fortunate to have his expertise and perspective as we continue advancing our mission to serve more people.” We’re honored to partner with Bob—and even more energized for what comes next.

A life can change when support shows up at the right moment. On National First Responders Day, we honor the strength of those in police, fire, and EMS roles, and we recognize that behind the badge, there are human beings who carry incredible burdens. At Rosecrance, our Resilience Program in Chicago was developed by individuals who understand the unique pressures of the profession, specifically for first responders. It's a safe, confidential space where peer support and specialized clinical care come together to provide real help in moments of struggle. To the first responders who may feel alone or hesitant to reach out: you're not alone, and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. If you know someone in a high-stress frontline role, share this resource. It could make all the difference. Learn more at Rosecrance.org
