Letting GO!

This weekend all of my kids came home from college and deposited large piles of laundry and miscellaneous life stuff all around the house.

The refrigerator is weeping from the extra effort to keep up with the extensive opening and closing of its doors. And the dishwasher is working overtime as we cook and clean up after a larger group.

As the hub-bub (technical term taught to me by my Scottish grandmother) of the holidays begins, I’m quickly reminded that things are not the way they used to be and frankly, we can never go back. My son fell in love over the summer and is splitting this Thanksgiving between us and the family of his girlfriend. For Christmas he will be gone on a vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with same girlfriend and family. My oldest daughter will be in Boston for Christmas then road tripping across the country with one of her best friends from high school.

And then there were three…just Mike, Isabelle and me…for the holidays.

I’m not known for being the mom with the umbilical cord still attached. I’m pragmatic in my parenting with the kids. I welcome and celebrate each of their developmental stages as they become increasingly more independent. And yet, for the first time, I feel my heart hurting, just a little, as those final strings are fraying and close to being broken, once and for all. I find myself asking questions like “did I give them the right foundation?” This is the entire point of our parenting—giving flight to our young—letting go.

This holiday season you may be in a similar situation—letting go of what used to be and embracing what is new. My challenge to you this week is to honor the past by loving your present. It’s in the NOW that we are living most fully and can truly LET GO.

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.
