I traveled to Nebraska over the weekend and am visiting my parents.  My dad has Alzheimer’s and lives in a memory care facility-my mom is a champ for caring for him for so long at home.  Mom is now ready to start sorting through what is in her home in preparation to downsize so we’re spending spring break hitting it hard in the basement storage area.  Last night we spent hours sorting through photographs.  It was hilarious as we filtered through the memories that leapt off the pages of the kodak branded paper.  Dad’s winning fish at a competition in Wisconsin.  His pet racoon-Sally-that he rescued when he was a teen.  Photos of our family at various ages and stages.  Lots of pictures of grandkids.  And beautiful collections of photos taken during my parents’ various work stints abroad.

The irony of my father’s lack of memories and all of the memories captured in those pages was not lost on me.  It was both beautiful and heartbreaking to recall so much joy and know this is lost for him.  I suppose it’s the responsibility of each of us to keep memories alive-especially the ones that matter most to us.  Whether through photos or written journals or passing down the memories through stories–memories matter.  They connect us to our past and inform our future. 

As you are going about your daily life, consider both what memories you are making for yourself and the ones you are leaving behind for others.  I am immensely grateful to have a deep well of joy filled memories from my life, so far, and I’m excited to create more.

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.
