Lady Gaga is reaching out to her fans during the Born This Way Ball tour by offering free therapy for depression, bullying, school, and friends. The Born Brave Bus will feature therapists for group or individual counseling for anyone who shows up. There will also be free food, DJ LadyStarlightNY and games to keep it fun.

Here's a link going into a little more detail:

I think it's a good sentiment. I wonder if some people will feel offended? What do you all think about it? Is it good Gaga is encouraging people to go get services or should she focus on music and art? She is a great advocate imo and has the power of celebrity which enables her to effectively influence the vulnerable so they might listen to her while ignoring others who say the same thing.

This is why ^^^^ it's a risky move. No wonder she calls it "Born Brave" because it was brave of her tackling this issue.

I think this is great. Even if she's just using it to add to her image, at least she's adding to her image in a constructive way that aids society. Usually when celebrities try to help, they do it in a way that only aids people investing into the project and hardly ever the people the aid was supposed to be for. For example, Mono and his whole "Help Africa" thing.

I have always enjoyed Lady Gaga's music and her "Be Yourself" attitude, and now I have an even bigger reason to respect her. :D

I respect her this and her be yourself attitude but I don't really care for her music,I'm just too old I guess.

Nobody can save the world but this is a fabulous effort by someone who has shown time and time again a strong social conscience. I support her completely!
