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.

This spring, amid ongoing uncertainty, Sound remains a steady force for our clients and partners. As state leaders shape the next budget, we’re urging them to maintain Medicaid funding—vital 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.
