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.
We are pleased to share our 2024 Annual Report with you, our beloved King County community. We're grateful to each and every one of you who have helped us with your generosity and support. And we hope you'll feel pride in the positive, vital impact we are making together.
As we observe Mental Health Awareness Month, now is the time to reflect on the challenges our communities face and the impact we can make together. This May, stories like Anthonyâs and Ellenâs remind us of the power of care, resilience, and recovery. Join us during GiveBIG 2024 to support Soundâs mission and transform lives.
While April brings hope of spring and growth and the levity of April Fool's Day â we need to also acknowledge the importance of Alcohol Awareness Month and National Minority Health Month (NMHM). Alcohol Awareness Month aims to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and promote community action, while NMHM highlights the importance of reducing health disparities and improving the health of racial and ethnic minorities and American Indian/Alaskan Natives.
As we advocate for change, now is the time to reflect on the challenges we face and the solutions ahead. Through the CCBHC model and PPS financing, we aim to transform behavioral health care. Our clinics are leading this effort in Washington with SAMHSA grants.
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.
