Resource Database FAQ

What does Get Help Washington do?

We build and maintain a database of mental health resources that’s making it easy for professionals to connect anyone in San Juan County to the right help.

What kind of resources are in the database?

We have many different types of resources. The two main categories are Therapy (i.e. licensed health providers) and Support (such as peer counseling, advocates, care coordination, shelters, transportation, etc).

How do you keep the resources updated?

We have two strategies to keep the resources updated: 1) Our staff work hard to find new resources and keep them updated, 2) We get by with a little help from our friends… or members. Professionals who use the database easily can report innacurate info and we verify and correct it.

How are you different than other searches?

There are many reasons why searching online for mental health resources is difficult. Here’s some of the ways we aim to be different:

We’re local. Unlike many other searches, the people behind on our resource database live and work in San Juan County. We are committed to improving coordination for SJC residents. While some resources in the database are off island, every resource is accessible to residents of SJC.
More data and it’s more robust. Most other databases stop at a brief description and phone numbers. We strive to make our data extremely helpful. We provide detailed thoughts from professionals who use the resources frequently. Members who are logged in can see info not available to the general public.
Prioritize quality over profit. We value search results more than advertising dollars. In fact, we don’t have ads in our resource search.
Eliminate marketing fluff. We succinctly summarize the resources and how to connect to them. We want to get you the information as quickly as possible and help you share it with the people who need it.
Empowering professionals with reliable data. We want to magnify the good professionals can do for the community by making them more effective and efficient.
Commitment to data accuracy. Research shows people stop searching after calling a few incorrect numbers or clicking on outdated links. We’re dedicated to maintaining up-to-date and accurate information. We use a masters level Social Worker to manage our database.

Couldn't I just make my own list of resources?

You could, but we’re confident you’ll find it difficult to match the number of resources in our database and the accuracy of its information. It’s hard to find, categorize and track the full breadth of resources out there. Resource lists created by individuals or organizations often become outdated quickly and are difficult to share with others.

How do I access the database?

Our memberships are for people serving San Juan or Island Counties. Individuals with a license or those who work for organizations can sign up to purchase a membership to access the directory, add their mental health events, or post announcements to alert the provider community. If you work for an organization talk with your program manager about purchasing a membership. If they won’t purchase it for your organization you can purchase one for your own use. Once you’ve signed up we’ll verify your account and you can purchase a membership.

Are there really that many resources in our county?

Our database includes resources that San Juan and Island County residents can access and use regularly. That means we have resources from all across Washington. As of August 2025 there are over 330 resources listed and we hope to have over 500 by the end of the year.

How do you decide on what resources to include?

We’re big believers in transparency and want people to understand our thinking at every step. You can see our process on vetting and deciding about resources below. Resources must:

Be accessible to people in San Juan County. Our database is meant to support San Juan County residents. There are many resources out of our county that we can access in-person, by phone or video. If people in our county are not allowed to use a resource we don’t include it in our database.
Provide a direct service. We want people to be able to make a direct connection with another person for support. None of the resources in the database solely provide only information or general health campaigns. Each resource provides a direct service to individuals that focuses on a specific issue they’re facing.
Have a license if it provides treatment or therapy. We use the Washington State Department of Health’s Provider Credential Search to verify a provider is licensed. We periodically do reviews to check that the licenses are active and are in good standing.
Be verified by other respected sources of information. We use many sources of information to evaluate resources. Some examples of respected sources of information are the National Provider Identifier Registry and the Washington State Health Care Authority.
Be recommended by professionals in our county. When someone suggests we add a resource to our database we check with professionals around the county to see if they’ve heard of it and if they would use it. The professionals don’t all have to agree, but at least some need to see it as useful.
Maintain the trust of professionals in our county. We have a system that allows professionals to report concerns about resources. If we receive enough reports from professionals we evaluate whether to remove the resource.
