The older adult population in Boston is growing and experiencing higher rates of depression and mental health challenges than their counterparts across the Commonwealth.
The EMHOT Program at Ethos is a person-centric flexible Behavioral Health Program for persons age 60+ focused on improving the mental well-being of each individual. Social Workers and Master level Social Work interns assist older adults with immediate needs as well as long-term supports.
EMHOT Team members meet with older adults to establish trusting relationships and provide services including:
- Assessment of an individual’s needs
- In-home visits, counseling, and therapy
- Accessing community-based therapy services
- Connection to resources such as Home Care, Medicare counseling, volunteer and employment opportunities, SNAP benefits, transportation resources, Healthy Aging classes, and much more!
- Coordination and collaboration with family/caregivers and medical providers
