The SOUND Mobile Rapid Response Crisis Teams are specially equipped two-person units, traveling in vans, staffed by behavioral health professionals and certified peer counselors. They are designed to de-escalate mental health and substance use crises, provide immediate support, and connect individuals to long-term care.
Watch videoAt SOUND, we offer voluntary behavioral-health care for adults who have had involvement with the criminal justice system or a legal history. Our Forensics team is here to help you as you move forward, supporting you with planning for discharge, re-entry into the community, and stabilization so you can work toward your goals with confidence.
We work closely with legal partners in King County, including the Department of Corrections, local jails, courts, and probation offices to help make your transition smoother and connect you with the care you choose.
Who This is For
Forensics services are available to adults seeking support with their mental health, the effects of trauma, and/or substance use. These services may be a good fit if you are working toward strengthening your wellness, meeting legal expectations, reducing the likelihood of becoming involved with the legal system again, and building a life that feels safe, meaningful, and self directed.
How We Support You
For nearly 30 years, SOUND has partnered with the legal system and the broader community to offer coordinated, evidence-based, person-centered care. Your care plan is created with you, built around your goals, values, lived experience, and preferences.
Your individualized support may include outpatient treatment, medication-assisted treatment options, support for co-occurring mental health and substance use, and referrals to inpatient care, housing support, employment services, and more.
Because forensic services are part of legal requirements, we communicate with the courts, probation offices, and/or DOC as required. We do this openly and transparently, involving you in the process so that you know what information is shared, with whom, and why. Our goal is to ensure that communication feels clear, predictable, and respectful — never surprising or punitive.
Our Goal
Our Forensics team works to create an environment where you feel safe, recognized, and respected. We approach care with empathy, curiosity, and compassion, and we partner with you to strengthen stability, resilience, and personal growth — supporting you in building a life that reflects your dignity, values, and long-term self-direction.
