Lady Gaga partners with mental health charities for Born Brave Bus Tour

Lady Gaga has teamed up with a number of mental health charities to give young fans the chance to speak to psychologists on her tour.

The Born Brave Bus Tour will follow Lady Gaga's forthcoming Born This Way Ball US tour and will see a number of booths set up by groups such as Campus Pride, GLSEN, Hive & YOUMedia, the National Association of School Psychologists and the National Council for Behavioral Health.

It will allow Gaga fans aged between 13 and 25 to have access to helpful resources, as well as psychologists and mentors.

Gaga's mother and Born This Way Foundation President Cynthia Germanotta said:

"Now more than ever, our kids need access to support within their communities, including mental health services. 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. We are incredibly grateful to our partners for helping to make the Born Brave Bus Tour a reality. To have this many reputable, national organizations come together at a local level is revolutionary."
