Mental Health Awareness Month: Skagit County Spotlight
As part of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re proud to spotlight Skagit County and the important work happening across this community.
In Skagit County, Compass Health supports approximately 1,392 clients per year, with the expertise and dedication of around 65 staff working across three primary locations. Through a combination of clinic based, intensive, and crisis response services, our teams remain closely connected to the communities they serve, expanding access to care and supporting whole person’s health every day.
Let’s take a closer look at the Compass Health sites serving Skagit County and the services offered at each location:
2nd Street
The 2nd Street site in Mount Vernon is a key, multiservice location supporting a broad range of behavioral health and medical services for the Skagit County community. Teams based at this site provide adult outpatient and intensive outpatient services, alongside more specialized, community based care through the Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT). The site also supports Designated Crisis Responders (DCRs) and the Mobile Crisis Outreach Team (MCOT), helping ensure timely, clinically appropriate responses for individuals experiencing behavioral health crises. The North YGo Team also has a presence here.
In addition, Compass Health Medical Services are delivered through this site, supporting integrated care coordination and access to medical support as part of a whole person approach. Together, the services at 2nd Street allow Compass Health to support individuals with varying levels of need, from ongoing outpatient care to intensive, wraparound, medical, and crisis response services across Skagit County.
Fir Street
The Fir Street location serves as the home base for Compass Health’s WISe (Wraparound with Intensive Services) team in Skagit County. From this site, staff provide intensive, team-based support for youth with complex behavioral health needs and their families through community based, family-driven services. Psychiatric services are also delivered as part of WISe, supporting integrated treatment and coordination of care for youth and families served through the program.
Fir Street teams work collaboratively with caregivers, schools, and community partners to support stabilization, early intervention, and long-term outcomes, helping children and youth succeed at home, in school, and in their communities.

Compass Health provides supportive housing in Skagit County, helping create stability and a strong foundation for our residents. In Mount Vernon, our housing includes Milwaukee Park with 15 studio units, and La Follette with a mix of 4 studio units, 3 one bedroom units, and 2 two bedroom units. These homes are an important part of supporting individuals and families with safe, stable housing in the communities they call home.
Over the past year, Compass Health has continued to strengthen its impact in Skagit County by supporting staff across sites, expanding access to outpatient, intensive, and youth services, and ensuring responsive crisis care when it is needed most. Through collaboration, adaptability, and a shared commitment to community-based care, Skagit County teams continue to meet people where they are and support long-term wellness across the community.
Across clinical, crisis, youth, and operational roles, Compass Health staff in Skagit County bring compassion, collaboration, and consistency to their work every day. Strong relationships with community partners and with one another help ensure care is accessible, responsive, and centered on the people we serve.
Together, these teams and locations reflect the heart of our work in Skagit County. Thank you to our staff for the care, commitment, and collaboration you bring to this community each and every day.
