The 25-year-old singer’s concerts will be preceded by inspirational speeches and group therapy and wellness workshops by CAST Centers to promote dialogue about mental health. Lovato is an alumna and co-owner of the Los Angeles mental health and wellness treatment center and was a patient in 2011. She had offered such services during her and Nick Jonas’ Future Now tour in 2016.

“It’s basically like a therapy session before the concerts and we have speakers from all over and we’re also helping out with different charities from around the country,” Lovato said on Good Morning America on Wednesday. “So it’ll be an incredible, very moving and inspiring experience.”

“I want to do this because one, it was such an incredible experience the last time we did this on tour,” Lovato said. “I’ve actually met people that go to CAST because they went to CAST on tours and realized they needed to get sober or they needed to better themselves in some other way and it’s changed lives and I want to be able to do that again. It’s a part of my whole…life, about giving back and I think it’s really important that I continue to do this while I’m on tour.”

Lovato has in the past spoken out about her battles with bipolar disorder, eating disorders and addiction. Last March, the singer celebrated five years of sobriety.

“I make it my life goal to inspire other people,” Lovato said on Good Morning America. “I think that it’s important for me to use my voice for more than just singing. I just know how important it is to use my platform to help others and to share my story in hopes that it inspires people to either get into recovery or better themselves. Whatever it is, I just want people to know they’re not alone and I’m here for them.”‘

“I think it’s really important to take away the stigma of mental illness,” she added. “I actually have bipolar disorder and I’m very open about that because I think that mental health affects so many people and we need to take the stigma away from it.”

Lovato’s Tell Me You Love Me tour, featuring DJ Khaled and Kehlani, begins on February 26 in San Diego.

Along with stars like Emma Stone, James Franco, Ryan Reynolds, and Amanda Seyfried; we know Demi Lovato to be a huge advocate of mental health.

In 2011, the 25-year-old singer was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and has openly discussed her struggles with the condition. She has since actively participated in movements that spread awareness of the disease by working with organizations like Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, Mental Health America, National Council for Behavioral Health, and JED.

Today, Demi used her influence again to bring this advocacy further ahead with a new program she’s leading as the Global Citizen mental health ambassador. She represents GC and teams up with Save the Children to help the children in Iraq who have been displaced by war.

Announcing her partnership with GC, Demi said in a Facebook post “My hope is that this program can bring a bit of comfort to those who need the most. This isn’t about politics or race or religion. It’s simply about humanity and protecting one another.” she continued.

Demi is working hand in hand with Save the Children’s Healing and Education through the Arts program, also known as HEART, to provide “psychosocial support for children affected by serious or chronic stress (using) the arts to help children process and communicate feelings related to their experiences” according to its website.

Last July, she spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia about the nation’s lack of resources for mental health treatment. “We can do better. Every one of us can make a difference by getting educated on this epidemic and its frightening statistics and by breaking the stigma,” she said. Demi is unstoppable and we couldn’t be happier.
