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. 

10 Ways to Brighten Someone's Day

Simply put, life can be stressful and hard. Every day can’t be a winning day, but there are things you can actively do to try to make somebody’s day brighter. The good news—these tasks are simple and take virtually no time at all! Check out these 10 ways you can make the world a better place by being a bright light in the lives of friends, family, loved ones and even strangers.
 

1. Lend an Ear

Listen. When an individual feels heard and understood, it’s guaranteed to make them feel better than if nobody is taking the time to understand.
 

2. Do a Chore

If you’re able, do a chore for your neighbors or someone in need. This could range from delivering meals to someone unable to go to the grocery store, mowing the lawn or virtually any errand necessary.
 

3. Send a Surprise

Think of care packages, flowers or baked goods. Thanks to modern-day delivery, the possibilities to send a surprise to somebody you love are endless! Whatever you do, do it with love.
 

4. Pay it Forward

Draw inspiration from an act of kindness that made your day. Take that feeling, and do that same thing for somebody else! If it made you smile, it’s likely to do the same for someone else.
 

5. Mail a Letter

Good old-fashioned letters are always a fun surprise to receive in the mailbox. Make a loved one’s day by sending them a card or letter for no reason other than to say you’re thinking of them.
 

6. Volunteer Your Time

An easy way to make someone’s day is to volunteer your time for an organization in need! Nonprofit organizations exist to make the world a better place, and you could have a huge impact for those in need through volunteering.
 

7. Pick Up the Tab

Whether you sneakily grab the bill at your next outing or pay for the person behind you in the drive-thru, it’s always a nice feeling to be unexpectedly treated.
 

8. Tell Them How You Feel

Life is short. Tell the people you love how you feel early and often! This is your reminder to tell your family and friends just how much they mean to you.
 

9. Give a Compliment

Everybody enjoys an unexpected compliment that comes from the heart. Be genuine and compliment your coworker, friend or even a complete stranger. Put some pep into somebody else’s step by paying them a compliment.
 

10. Pick Up the Phone

Near or far, dialing up a loved one just to chat can change their entire day. Think of somebody you miss or who might need a pick-me-up and give them a call. 

 

These ideas are simple ways you can completely change the trajectory of somebody else’s day! Use the power you have to make the world a brighter, better place, and you’re sure to also experience some of that kindness. Together, we have the power to change the world!

Beautiful things grow when we work together for good.
