Building Bridges

In case you haven’t noticed, we are in the middle of a contentious race for the presidency of the United States.

The conversation of our once hope filled nation has turned angry, accusatory, divisive and threatening.  We are seeing the rise of disparate voices of those who feel left out and disenfranchised by the political process.  There is a call for fairness and accountability and yet a complete lack of civility, compromise and personal responsibility in the political conversation.

As I watch and listen to the candidates and commentators I’m constantly asking myself about the implications at the local level.  What does this conversation mean for my neighbors, my community, my children and me?  And how do we change the conversation?

The call to action comes quickly to mind.  It’s time for each of us to pick up our toolkits and begin building bridges.  Start small.  Knock on the door of your next door neighbor and find out how they are doing.  Maybe drop off a token of friendship—something from your garden or home baked goodies.  Begin building the relationships with your neighbors so that you all begin to rely on one another for support.  These relationships form a bridge of mutual understanding, care and concern.

Consider volunteering for an organization with which you have natural affinity.  Mom is a cancer survivor? Choose Cancer Services or Gilead. Grandpa has Alzheimer’s? Choose the Alzheimer’s Association.  Any volunteer opportunity will do because it’s building the bridge between yourself and your community that matters.

The more bridges we build, the more connected we become. The more connected we become, the better able we are to respond to those who are feeling excluded and marginalized.  The better able we are to respond, the better able we are to provide a safe, healthy, thriving community that celebrates diversity of thought and people.

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.
