The center will be the first of its kind in King County to provide a range of care services from walk-in mental health urgent care to continued stabilization of behavioral health or substance use crises, said the release.
A new multi-service crisis response center is set to open in Kirkland’s Totem Lake neighborhood in 2024, said the city of Lake Forest Park in a news release on Wednesday.
The center will be the first of its kind in King County to provide a range of care services, from walk-in mental health urgent care to continued stabilization of behavioral health or substance use crises, said the release. The clinic uses the term “no wrong door” to show that it will be open to everyone regardless of the severity of need or insurance status, and care will be available 24/7 with no appointment required.
The center was developed through the partnership of Connections Health Solutions with the cities of Bothell, Kenmore, Kirkland, Lake Forest Park, and Shoreline. $21.52 million in financial support from grants from the State of Washington and King County was given to start the facility.
