Sheryl Crow Shares New Song ‘I Know’ for Mental Health Awareness Month
Bobby Caughron 
Sheryl Crow has announced the following regarding her brand new single “I Know”:
May is Mental Health Awareness month. In a recent moment when I was really struggling, I picked up my guitar and wrote a song. I sent it to some friends and got such a strong reaction that I’m going to put it out this week – it’s called “I Know”. Sometimes when we’re struggling, just knowing that another soul can relate to what we’re feeling makes things a little bit better. That’s what this song is about.
At times, our challenges can seem so overwhelming that we need professional help, which for a lot of folks isn’t always easy to find or access.
I recently came across a mental health charity that resonated with me called To Write Love On Her Arms @twloha – their mission statement is “presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide.” When we’re struggling, we all need hope. And when you add help to hope, you can overcome huge challenges.
Therapy is often not covered by insurance and is expensive. To Write Love On Her Arms provides resources so people in need of help can find affordable care. And this I REALLY love: they have a “Disconnect to Reconnect” challenge which encourages people to get off social media for two weeks and reconnect what matters most. Social media isn’t really great for anyone’s emotional well-being, so encouraging folks to out the phone down and enjoy nature, family and friends, music….I do that all the time, and I know how beneficial it is to take a break.
I encourage you to check out To Write Love On Her Arms, check out the resources on their website and see if they might help you or someone you love. And if it does, please consider donating to them or any mental health charity that resonates with you.
With love to all,
Sheryl
