Endurance

I’m not sure why, but recently I’ve spent a lot of quiet time musing about endurance.

In my twenties and thirties I was a distance runner and always associated endurance with my running and competition. I studied it based upon the foods I ate, sleep patterns and resting heart rate.  Constantly trying to figure out what contributed to greater or less endurance on my long runs.

Now that I’m nearly 50, I see endurance much differently than I did when my perspective was limited to athletic performance–“the ability or strength to continue despite fatigue, stress, or other adverse conditions; stamina.”  That’s how the online dictionary defines endurance and it resonates with the way I’m sensing it now.

Each of us are challenged to learn the lesson of endurance throughout our lives.  I see this in the faces of the individuals we serve each day.  The mom who finally makes the connection between how she was raised and a better way to raise her own children; the addict who finds a greater purpose and value to their life than the next high; and the family who re-engages with their wayward teenager and finds loving common ground—they all grow in endurance as they bear the pain, hardship and suffering that positive change often requires.

Endurance is the culmination of life experiences that give us grit and the ability to endure a difficult career change, a relationship low, losses of loved ones and rapid change.  The great thing about endurance is that it is the pathway to an amazing, beautiful and thriving life.

Here’s wishing you the gift of endurance and a life well lived.

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.
