Service Delivery By Heartland RADAC During COVID

Heartland RADAC continues to serve clients while maintaining effective health and safety protocols for both clients and staff. 

Heartland RADAC requests that all clients and staff practice safe social distancing recommendations while engaged in services.  All local mandates by local county or municipality health departments, will also be followed. Masks are recommended for any in-person contact, especially if you have not been vaccinated.

In-person Assessments, Case Management, Peer/Recovery Coaching, and Treatment are available.  Phone, and video appointments are available on a limited basis, dependent on client access to a phone or computer.  We are now required to get signatures on releases, as the state of emergency waiver which allowed verbal consent has expired.  Signatures can be obtained via DocuSign, if you have access to a cell phone or email, or you can download the forms from the Release Forms & Notifications link at the bottom of this page. 

Please call us at 913-789-0951 or 1-800-281-0029 to schedule an assessment. 

Schedulers will ask you a series of questions to determine your eligibility and the type of service (in-person, phone, or video) which will best meet your individual needs. 

Finding Meaning During Graduation

You can hear it in the air around high school football fields and college campuses all across the country. This time of year strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” play as millions don their caps and gowns to march across a stage and take their first steps toward the next journey in their lives.

In these exercises, we have to endure one last test: listening to the commencement speaker. While our mind wonders to the celebrations we’ll be attending; and our heads are craning to find family and friends in the audience, the speaker delivers an address chock full of helpful advice. Advice that we probably could have benefited from, if only it weren’t delivered at this moment.

In honor of the graduates in our community that might have missed a little in the speech, we’ve assembled some words of wisdom that we particularly like.

“The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” – Mitch Albom

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” – Howard Thurman

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go.” – Dr. Suess

“Graduation day is tough for adults. They go to the ceremony as parents. They come home as contemporaries. After twenty-two years of child-raising, they are unemployed.” – Erma Bombeck

Congratulations to our communities’ high school and college graduates. May you find and share all the happiness that you deserve.

Beautiful things grow when we work together for good.
