Earlier this month, on Suicide Prevention Day, our team hosted a booth at Southcenter Mall to share an important message with the community: suicide prevention starts with awareness. At our activation station, we provided resources and practical tips for recognizing when someone may be struggling and how to reach out with care. Engaging with visitors throughout the day reinforced just how vital small conversations can be in making a big difference.
This September, SOUND celebrated the power of partnerships in advancing hope, healing, and recovery. Highlights included the ribbon-cutting of the new ICHS Auburn Clinic, bringing integrated health services under one roof, and the launch of our SOUND Activation Station at Southcenter Mall to raise awareness on suicide prevention. We look ahead with excitement to the upcoming Sound of Hope Gala, where we’ll continue building community support for accessible, equitable care.
Earlier this month, we had the honor of cutting the ribbon and officially opening the doors to a new chapter of care in Auburn. In partnership with International Community Health Services (ICHS), SOUND's Auburn clinic is now home to integrated behavioral health, primary care, and mobile dental services, all under one roof. This collaboration is more than just a co-habitation; it’s a powerful step toward whole-person care that lowers barriers, makes services easier to access, and provides a more supportive experience for individuals and families in our community.
SOUND is proud to be recognized in recent coverage by The Seattle Times highlighting King County’s evolving approach to mental health crisis response.
International Community Health Services and SOUND Behavioral Health have teamed up to expand integrated health services for low-income residents in Auburn.
Orange doors are popping up around King County as part of a new initiative by Sound Behavioral Health to represent an entry point to hope, healing, and recovery, with May being Mental Health Awareness Month.
