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.
This spring, amid ongoing uncertainty, Sound remains a steady force for our clients and partners. As state leaders shape the next budget, weâre urging them to maintain Medicaid fundingâvital to our services and the people we serve. Our programs ease pressure on emergency rooms, law enforcement, and first responders by providing effective, community-based care. Continued support for initiatives like Mobile Crisis Teams and Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) is essential. We thank our public, private, and community partners for standing with us as we work toward a healthier, more stable future.
