Learn how Sound Behavioral Health’s Mobile Rapid Response Crisis Team (MRRCT) partners with communities to respond quickly, safely, and compassionately to behavioral health crises without relying on law enforcement. This webinar will explore how this 24/7 publicly funded service can be used by Southside Seattle businesses and organizations to support employees, customers, and neighbors while strengthening community safety.
Speaking with us will be Katrina Egner, President and CEO of Sound Behavioral Health, who has spent nearly 30 years at SOUND and now leads one of Washington’s largest community behavioral health providers, advancing innovative, community-centered mental health and crisis response services across King County. She will be joined by Joe Vela, Director of Crisis Services at SOUND, who oversees the MRRCT program.
