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 âLevi Jones, Ronan Buckley, and Connor Flume â have done just that with their initiative, 988 Find Your Peace.âThrough 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.

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 â much like the people she supported in her work at SOUND Behavioral Health. That realization planted the seed for what would become SOUNDâs Animal Sanctuary program. In partnership with the Sammamish Animal Sanctuary, SOUNDâs program is now a thriving part of the organizationâs Child and Family Services offerings.
Just a few short weeks ago, SOUND Behavioral Health welcomed more than 400 community members, partners, and supporters to Fremont Studios for the annual SOUND of Hope Gala â an evening dedicated to expanding access to mental health and substance use services across King County.
As we reflect on the SOUND of Hope Gala: Open Hearts, Open Doors, we are deeply grateful to our community for coming together to expand access to hope, healing, and recovery across King County. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, and partners, we exceeded our fundraising goal and are building momentum as SOUND enters an exciting new chapter, including our selection for Washington Stateâs first Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Pre-Certification Cohort. Together, we are opening more doors to care for allâregardless of insurance or ability to pay.
Orange doors are popping up around King County as part of a new initiative by Sound Behavioral Health to represent an entry point to hope, healing, and recovery, with May being Mental Health Awareness Month.
This May, SOUND Behavioral Health unveiled its âOrange Doorâ campaign to raise awareness about mental health and substance use treatment in King County. Featuring interactive orange door installations across the region, the campaign symbolizes hope, healing, and access to care. SOUND is calling on the community to support its mission and join the movement for a healthier, more compassionate King County.
