What a month it has been! We launched the Mobile Rapid Response Crisis Units and celebrated the SOUND of Hope Gala, raising crucial funds to expand our work. A special thank you to DK Metcalf for spotlighting SOUND Deaf Services in the My Cause My Cleats campaign. As we enter the season of giving, your support helps us touch 15,000 lives in 2024. Thank you for making a difference. Wishing you a joyous holiday season!
We are pleased to share our 2024 Annual Report with you, our beloved King County community. We're grateful to each and every one of you who have helped us with your generosity and support. And we hope you'll feel pride in the positive, vital impact we are making together.
As we observe Mental Health Awareness Month, now is the time to reflect on the challenges our communities face and the impact we can make together. This May, stories like Anthonyâs and Ellenâs remind us of the power of care, resilience, and recovery. Join us during GiveBIG 2024 to support Soundâs mission and transform lives.
While April brings hope of spring and growth and the levity of April Fool's Day â we need to also acknowledge the importance of Alcohol Awareness Month and National Minority Health Month (NMHM). Alcohol Awareness Month aims to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and promote community action, while NMHM highlights the importance of reducing health disparities and improving the health of racial and ethnic minorities and American Indian/Alaskan Natives.
As we advocate for change, now is the time to reflect on the challenges we face and the solutions ahead. Through the CCBHC model and PPS financing, we aim to transform behavioral health care. Our clinics are leading this effort in Washington with SAMHSA grants.
