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.
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.
