Stefani
Joanne Angelina Germanotta, popularly known as Lady Gaga will be
providing therapy on her upcoming Born This Way Ball tour. Gaga
announced on Saturday that the 2013 leg of her BTW Ball will feature the
BornBrave Bus, where fans can come aboard before each show and receive
counselling.
Why
are you scared? Gaga won’t be doing the counselling herself, but little
monsters can dream. The advice and pep talks will come from members of
the National Council for Behavioral Health.
“At
the BornBrave Bus you have access to professional private or group
chats about mental health, depression, bullying, school & friends,”
Gaga wrote on Facebook. “There will also be food and games, DJ White
Shadow and Lady Starlight will DJ with host BREEDLOVE to keep the
experience fun.
“BornBrave
Bus Is a place where mental health + depression are taken seriously w/
no judgement, FREE real help available to all. I feel like most kids
don’t look for help because they feel embarrassed so mom + I wanted to
break the stigmas around “help” and make it fun.”
The
mother monster and her mom, Cynthia Germanotta, came up with the idea
for their Born This Way Foundation in the wake of the recent Sandy Hook
Elementary School shootings.
“Now
more than ever, our kids need access to support within their
communities, including mental health services,” read a statement from
Mama Gaga. “By connecting youth to these local resources, we hope to
plant the seeds that will help them deal with today’s challenges and
inspire them to continue exercising their strength and bravery well
after the Born Brave Bus leaves town.”
The Born The Way Ball relaunches on Jan. 11 in Vancouver, B.C. Canada. [vibe]
