SOUND Behavioral Health’s Mobile Rapid Response Crisis Team (MRRCT) was recently highlighted in Latino Herald, spotlighting the lifesaving support available through 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The story highlights how MRRCT provides rapid, in-person response to individuals experiencing behavioral health crises across King County, often arriving within minutes to help stabilize situations and connect people to care. Since launching, the team has expanded its reach and continues to serve more community members in moments when compassionate, immediate support is needed most.

As we reflect on the SOUND of Hope Gala: Open Hearts, Open Doors, we are deeply grateful to our community for coming together to expand access to hope, healing, and recovery across King County. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, and partners, we exceeded our fundraising goal and are building momentum as SOUND enters an exciting new chapter, including our selection for Washington State’s first Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Pre-Certification Cohort. Together, we are opening more doors to care for all—regardless of insurance or ability to pay.
