Connecting to Joy

Most of you know I’m a Nebraska Cornhusker, born and raised. One of my life’s passions is horses.

March 21, 2016

I love to ride them, clean up after them, spend time just watching them.  I am 100% content in the presence of a horse. As a young child (5 to 7) I would sneak carrots out of my mom’s refrigerator and lure the neighbor’s horses over to the fence.  While the horse was enjoying the treat I brought, I would climb the fence and jump on his back taking him for a short ride until getting caught by the owner and having to “take a fall” in order to run away.  I did this constantly into my teens. I tried really hard to push my passion onto my children—none of whom really caught the magic that I felt every time I was in the presence of a horse.

In light of some of the tragic news we’ve received in recent days about deadly accidents, I found myself feeling a little low and heavy.

Then, I was unexpectedly filled with joy when I found this picture of my son, William.

This picture was taken in 2004 during his FIRST riding lesson.  Look at his face!  If that does not make you giggle a little or think of a whimsical time of your own, I don’t know what will.  I really needed that feeling of joy today as I looked at Will’s face.

At Radiant Health we work every day to connect our clients back to joy.  We provide a safe, nurturing place for them to lay down their most burdensome pain.  And by embracing them, without judgment, we free them to find joy again.

This past month, we have been recognizing our staff’s efforts as social workers, therapists, psychologists, friends, and family.  For those of you in our larger “family,” my wish for you is that YOU continue to connect to JOY in spite of the challenges you face in your daily lives.   If there is any way we can help you, please do not hesitate to call us if you need counseling to re-ignite those joy-filled connections:  765.662.9971.

Joyfully,

Lisa A. Dominisse
President/CEO

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.
