SOUND Behavioral Health Launches What Matters: A New Campaign Elevating Mental Wellness

SOUND Behavioral Health is proud to launch What Matters, a new community-driven campaign highlighting why mental health deserves our attention. Through a series of short, powerful videos, iconic Seattle musicians, trusted media voices, and industry leaders share why mental wellness fuels their work — and why ending stigma is essential.

Each story offers a reminder that healing, connection, and support strengthen our entire community. By opening up about what matters to them, these leaders help create space for others to speak openly about mental health and seek the care they deserve.

The first video in the series went live today — check out SOUND’s social channels to watch and join the conversation. More stories will be released throughout the campaign, and SOUND invites everyone to follow along, share their own experiences, and help build a more understanding, connected community.

Mercer Island Students Partner with SOUND to Promote Mental Health Awareness

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.

Inside SOUND's Partnership with Sammamish Animal Sanctuary: Healing Animals and People Alike

When SOUND clinician Marlene Andrews began volunteering at the Sammamish Animal Sanctuary, she noticed something unexpected. The animals, many of them rescued or recovering from neglect, required patience and consistency to build trust – much like the people she supported in her work at SOUND Behavioral Health. 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.
