Thank You for Another Successful Candlelight Vigil

I am left unsure how to express my gratitude and overwhelming thanks for everyone who had a part in this year’s Hands of Hope Candlelight Vigil.

As I looked into the crowd at the Vigil Thursday night I was so appreciative of the number in attendance, as well as the diversity among those present. I am always thankful for law enforcement and advocates who work tirelessly and show their support by being at the vigil. I was also pleased by the many who filled the pews that I didn’t know, who came to hear and support victims and survivors of domestic violence.

And, of course my most sincere thanks goes out to everyone who participated in this year’s Candlelight Vigil beginning with our guest speaker Marti MacGibbon and extending beyond to each of the musicians and vocalists.

As always, none of the incredible music would be possible without the leadership of Steve Newcomer who has been the faithful leader for the past 20 years. In addition, I am so appreciative of Kelly Cheney who has sang the “candle” song so eloquently each year, for a similar length of time as Steve has been involved.

And, then I want to say thank you to all the others who have participated with us in the past and to those who joined us for the first time this year. So that others in the community can give them the thanks they deserve I want to name them:

Tim George on piano, Ronny Morrell on drums, Claire Allison on flute, Daniel Rife on violin, Alan Murphy, vocal and guitar, Jordan Brown, vocal and guitar,  Noel Lehman, vocal and April Evans, vocal. The music was over the top and incredibly powerful!

And, of course, a very special thanks to my fellow parishioners and pastor at St. James Lutheran Church for once again serving as such gracious hosts and assistants. Pastor William Lahrman who did a wonderful job of welcoming everyone and eloquently sending us off with a clear message, as well as Matt and Sandy Mindach who ensured that the power point and sound was seamless, along with community member Tom Lehman.

I look forward to another Candlelight Vigil next October, but until then, please Grant County, do your part to make sure that victims know that Hands of Hope is a vital part of this community and wants to assist anyone suffering from domestic violence. Hands of Hope is just a phone call away 24-hours a day at 664-0701.

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.
