29,000 Days

I’ve been doing some thinking. Always erring on the positive and doing “Lisa Math”, let’s assume we each live for 29,000 days.

July 13, 2021

That’s 80 years.  Pretty good long life and 29,000 days seems like a lot, right?  To put in perspective how short this timeframe is, the earth has been around for approximately 4.5 billion years.  Oh, and did you know your chance of being born and reading this right now was 1 in 400 trillion?  So, those 29,000 days are not so long and are frankly, shockingly rare when you consider the miniscule chance of your birth.

With this in mind, how are we spending our time?  And are we cherishing ourselves and this worldly experience?  Are we savoring each up and down with a special knowing of its rarity?  I have not been the best steward of my miraculously provided life and at times succumb to negative inner dialog and self-destructive behavior.  With this new perspective, however, I’m finding my inner dialog more kind and greater joy in the happy moments, acceptance in the difficult moments and overall contentment.

Our one, short, miraculous life is meant for living and loving.  Take this perspective with you and model it for those around you.  And most importantly, embrace your 29,000 days, wherever you are along the timeline, and thoroughly appreciate each moment.

Hi there.
We're Radiant Health.

As of January 18, 2023, Grant Blackford Mental Health and Family Services Society, two organizations that merged in April 2022, rebranded under the unified name Radiant Health.

We’re excited for you to meet the new us, and to get a chance to help work together on the new you.

How we help.

When you’re in the middle of it, addiction can feel like a dead-end road. We know for certain that it isn’t. Just like any mental health challenge, addiction is an obstacle on our path. And, with some innovation and hardwork, we can work our way around it. On the other side of that obstacle is a bright future with healthy relationships, purpose-driven life, and a profound joy that’s been missing for all too long.

What do we mean?

Like so many things, mental health is passed down through families. Through behaviors, mirroring, and conditioning, we learn so much of what we know from those closest to us. Oftentimes that’s for the better, sometimes it’s not. At Radiant Health, we’re here to help ensure that your family makes purpose and joy as hereditary as any trait you might pass down to future generations. With a bit of hard word, together, we can make joy run in your family. 

What is Better?

Better ≠ perfect. Better means a path of continuous improvement; of evolution. When we focus on getting 1% better, 1% brighter every single day., we’re able to see the joy in the moment, while feeling the pride that comes with taking the reins over your life and working hard on yourself.  Here at Radiant, to focus on your future, we move towards it one achievable step at a time. 

What is Better Care?

When we talk about “brighter, better care” through our specialized services it boils down to 3 simple ideas. First, better care is safer care. Our facilities and staff are trained and equipped to offer safe, secure facilities during any stay. Second, better care is a respect for dignity. We believe in the dignity of every human being and we treat each person with the same level of respect. Finally, better care is the pursuit of purpose. Our treatment is designed with the firm belief that every person has purpose and, through it, finds joy.

What to Expect?

At Radiant Health you can expect a warmth and cheer that are rare in the mental health space. We believe firmly that the commitment to mental health is a commitment to finding purpose, but also discovering joy in the pursuit of it. Walking through our doors is a simple and transparent process. You’ll begin with an initial consultation with our expert staff, developing a blueprint, and taking that first step towards incremental improvement.
