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.

Earlier this month, on Suicide Prevention Day, our team hosted a booth at Southcenter Mall to share an important message with the community: suicide prevention starts with awareness. At our activation station, we provided resources and practical tips for recognizing when someone may be struggling and how to reach out with care. Engaging with visitors throughout the day reinforced just how vital small conversations can be in making a big difference.
