About SMH/History   

Spokane Mental Health (SMH) was incorporated in 1969 through the merging of three small mental health agencies: Child Guidance Clinic, Mental Health Association, and Crisis Clinic of Spokane. 

As a consolidated organization, SMH began providing cost effective and comprehensive care in 1970. Today, approximately 400 staff provide an array of integrated services to over 10,000 individuals and families each year. 

The sun in the Spokane Mental Health logo represents warmth, light, hope and the promise of a new day as it rises over the mountains to the east. The mountains depicted represent the topography of Spokane as well as the stability of the organization and our dedication to providing the best quality services to people who need them - past, present and future.
