This June, SOUND built on the momentum of Mental Health Awareness Month with continued action, reflection, and celebration. We honored Juneteenth, recognized Men’s Health Month, and stood proudly with the LGBTQ+ community during Pride by expanding inclusive care and joining community events like the Trans Pride and Seattle Pride Parades.

Seven bright orange doors are on display across King County—at places like Pike Place Market and UW—symbolizing the hope, healing, and recovery we offer to 15,000 people each year.
