SOUND Behavioral Health’s Mobile Rapid Response Crisis Team (MRRCT) was recently highlighted in Latino Herald, spotlighting the lifesaving support available through 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The story highlights how MRRCT provides rapid, in-person response to individuals experiencing behavioral health crises across King County, often arriving within minutes to help stabilize situations and connect people to care. Since launching, the team has expanded its reach and continues to serve more community members in moments when compassionate, immediate support is needed most.
The article also emphasizes an important message for immigrant and Spanish-speaking communities: crisis care is available to everyone. MRRCT services are free, confidential, and accessible regardless of insurance, income, or immigration status. By responding with trained clinicians instead of law enforcement in most situations, the program helps ensure people in crisis receive the care and support they deserve without fear.

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.

That realization planted the seed for what would become SOUND’s Animal Sanctuary program. In partnership with the Sammamish Animal Sanctuary, SOUND’s program is now a thriving part of the organization’s Child and Family Services offerings.
