Demi Lovato has teamed with the Royal Bank of Canada, Virgin Unite, and Draper Richards Kaplan to launch The Mental Health Fund. The young singer unveiled the news earlier today, April 20.
In a statement released by the fund, the “…fund aims to support the work of organizations that provide crisis intervention via text message, 24/7.” The statement goes on to say, “Crisis intervention via text is filling a gap in the mental health care system, especially for people who find it difficult to talk or do not have the resources to access other care.”
“To meet the increased demand of people in pain, Crisis Text Line, Shout UK, Kids Help Phone,, and SpunOut.ie, have come together to work with The Mental Health Fund.”
Demi spoke about the fund in the statement as well. She said, “So many people have been left alone with their thoughts, their abusers, their anxieties — and are struggling with the uncertainty of these times. I know not everyone has the ability to get the help they need so my hope is that this fund can bring support to help alleviate some of the hardship and pain people are going through.”
