In honor of Chris Cornell

May is Mental Health Awareness MonthSadly, Chris Cornell died four years ago. There is a bronze statue of him next to MoPOP, the Museum of Pop Culture, which I walk by frequently, usually on the way to a grocery store. I honestly knew nothing about him until I heard about the statue and how his death affected Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, a great champion of Path with Art. They were friends and often performed together.

Remember that May is Mental Health Awareness Month. If you need someone to talk with, please do not hesitate to reach out. One resource is easy to remember: call 711 or 1-866-427-4747 on your phone and you will be connected with someone.

While Path with Art is not a social service agency, one of my goals is to create a peer-to-peer support network. Like many others, I suffer from depression, including thoughts about suicide. You can reach me and others on the blog editorial team via blog@pathwithart.org. We really are in this together. Never forget that.
