This June, SOUND built on the momentum of Mental Health Awareness Month with continued action, reflection, and celebration.

While our Orange Door campaign has ended, our commitment to accessible, affirming mental health care continues every day.
Expanded partnership provides primary care, dental and behavioral health services at one Auburn site for low-income patients. ICHS and SOUND Behavioral Health team up to bring integrated health services to one Auburn clinic.
For Mental Health Awareness Month, SOUND launched the Orange Door campaign to raise awareness and reduce stigma around mental health. Seven bright orange doors are on display across King County—at places like Pike Place Market and UW—symbolizing the hope, healing, and recovery we offer to 15,000 people each year. As need grows and funding remains uncertain, we’re asking our community to stand with us. Thank you to our partners and supporters for helping make this campaign possible.
