At SOUND Behavioral Health, we are inspired when young people step up to make a difference in our community. A group of students from Mercer Island High School — Levi Jones, Ronan Buckley, and Connor Flume — have done just that with their initiative, 988 Find Your Peace.
Through T-shirts and sweatshirts featuring the national Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 988, these students are helping normalize conversations about mental health and letting their peers know that support is always available. All profits from their apparel go directly to SOUND, helping us provide critical counseling, crisis intervention, housing support, and recovery services throughout King County.
We are grateful for their leadership and commitment to reducing stigma. To read the full story about how these students are making mental-health awareness more visible, read Mercer Island's City Lifestyle feature here.

As SOUND marks 60 years of service to the community, we sat down with Board Chair Roger Dowdy to reflect on the organization’s legacy, its role today, and the opportunities ahead.
