When Love is a Battlefield: Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month

It’s that time of year again.Bright red and pink boxes of chocolate line store aisles. Flower sales are booming. Elementary school students are buying those little chalky candy hearts for their classmates. Across the country, …

But for many teens and young adults, “love” can be dangerous. It is estimated that, in a single year, 1.5 million high school students nationwide will experience physical abuse from an intimate partner.  Even more disheartening is the fact that 1 in 3 adolescents has experienced physical, sexual, emotional or verbal abuse from a boyfriend or girlfriend.

In addition to being the month of Valentines and Leap Days, February is also National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. While dating violence can take many forms, combating it always begins with awareness. By talking about this issue, we can create safe environments for teens and young adults. We need to make it clear that abuse (whether physical or emotional) is not loving, and be aware of what it means to be in a healthy relationship.

Love may feel like a battlefield sometimes. But by increasing our awareness of dating violence and partner abuse, we can help put an end to the war.

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.
