March 8, 2023 – Connections Health Solutions, the leading innovator of immediate access behavioral health crisis care, is proud to announce it has secured a location in the 405 Kirkland Corporate Center in Kirkland, WA, for the county’s first person-focused, multi-service behavioral health crisis response center. Within a safe, dedicated space for high-quality care, the center will provide a spectrum of care services, from walk-in behavioral health urgent care to continued stabilization, to individuals experiencing all types of behavioral health or substance use crises.
“The cities of the North King County Coalition recognize the importance of life-saving treatment and mental health care, and our communities have long sought a solution to get individuals in crisis the care they need, at the time it is needed most,” said City of Kirkland Mayor Penny Sweet. “Connections Health Solutions’ proven expertise in providing high-quality, community-based behavioral health crisis care will help meet the unique needs of our community. Kirkland is honored to be the location of this resource.”
Addressing the unmet need in behavioral health crisis care has been a priority for leaders in North King County and its cities. Connections will work in partnership with a coalition of five North King County cities – Bothell, Kenmore, Kirkland, Lake Forest Park, and Shoreline – to continue advancing the coalition’s focus on maintaining a safe community for all.
