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.

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 Countyâat places like Pike Place Market and UWâsymbolizing the hope, healing, and recovery we offer to 15,000 people each year. As need grows and funding remains uncertain, weâre asking our community to stand with us. Thank you to our partners and supporters for helping make this campaign possible.
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.
