This June, SOUND built on the momentum of Mental Health Awareness Month with continued action, reflection, and celebration. We honored Juneteenth, recognized Menâs Health Month, and stood proudly with the LGBTQ+ community during Pride by expanding inclusive care and joining community events like the Trans Pride and Seattle Pride Parades. While our Orange Door campaign has ended, our commitment to accessible, affirming mental health care continues every day.
As summer begins, now is the time to address the unique challenges children and families face when schools close. Thanks to grants from King County and Providence Swedish, SOUNDâs expanded summer programs offer engaging activities and parenting classes to keep clients connected and supported. From BBQs to rock climbing, weâre ensuring summer is a season of growth, care, and connection.
