Mental Health Month: Caring for ourselves in a time of change
As we recognize Mental Health Month, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the importance of well-being in our lives and in our work.
Mental health is a shared human experience. Many of us are balancing responsibilities at home, at work, and in our communities while navigating stress, uncertainty, and change. That reality is part of what makes this work, and our commitment to one another, so important.
Every day, across King County, you show up to serve our residents and communities. Whether you are supporting someone in crisis, helping a family access service, maintaining critical infrastructure, or keeping our operations running, your work matters. Our investments in behavioral and mental health services, including Crisis Care Centers, school-based health programs, and MIDD-funded services, reflect our commitment to building a region where people can live healthy, stable lives. That commitment also includes efforts like our immigration executive order and the Welcoming Community Subcabinet, which help ensure that communities experiencing heightened stress and uncertainty due to federal actions are, and feel, supported, safe, and connected here in King County.
That commitment extends to you. Read more.
