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.

Our database includes resources that San Juan County residents can access and use regularly. That means we have resources from all across Washington. Currently there are over 200 resources listed and it’s growing daily. 

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.
