We’re excited to announce the SOUND of Hope Gala on November 23rd at MOHAI, celebrating community and progress in behavioral health. We’ve also made great strides in workforce development, reducing turnover to 12%, increasing diversity to 45%, and hiring 128 new staff this year. Your support helps us continue building a stronger SOUND team.
We’re proud to share SOUND’s impactful work supporting individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). From our Intensive Residential Treatment program to partnerships like Project ECHO, we’re breaking barriers in behavioral health and whole-person care. Our work wouldn’t be possible without your support—help us continue making a difference for this vulnerable community.
We are thrilled to announce that SOUND has been awarded agreements to operate two Mobile Rapid Response Crisis Teams in King County’s South and Northeast regions. These 24/7 teams will provide in-person mental health crisis intervention in partnership with Crisis Connections and DESC. With your support, we can expand these vital services and ensure individuals in crisis receive timely, compassionate care.
As summer begins, now is the time to address the unique challenges children and families face when schools close. Thanks to grants from King County and Providence Swedish, SOUND’s expanded summer programs offer engaging activities and parenting classes to keep clients connected and supported. From BBQs to rock climbing, we’re ensuring summer is a season of growth, care, and connection.
Sound is committed to equity for all and stands in solidarity with every individual. June provides key opportunities to elevate conversations about race, sexual orientation, and gender identity. From 2SLGBTQIA+ Pride parades marking the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots to Juneteenth commemorations recognizing the end of slavery in the United States, we celebrate diversity and inclusion.
