Lady Gaga will provide free counseling and mental health services to fans before her shows when the Born This Way Ball resumes touring in 2013.

Gaga, whose social outreach has included exposing her struggle with eating disorders and promoting anti-bullying efforts, made the announcement in a Facebook post on Friday:

For those wondering about the “counseling” at the BTWBall BornBrave pre-show, it will be a fun tailgating experience for monsters to unite.

At the BornBrave Bus you have access to professional private or group chats about mental health, depression, bullying, school & friends.

There will also be food and games, DJ White Shadow and Lady Starlight will DJ with host BREEDLOVE to keep the experience fun.

Gaga went on to explain her intentions:

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 Born This Way Ball picks up in Vancouver on January 11.

“I’m counting down the days till the Ball starts up again. ONLY 3 MONTHS LEFT OF TOURING, what will I do!!!!?? I love seeing you every night!” wrote Gaga.

    This is very nice of Gaga, and something I think really needs to happen in America, the sooner the better.
    That being said I wonder how helpful and effective it will really be. Here’s to hoping it works!

    Maybe she should visit the bus too!

    Well, animals are also born certain way, with fur actually. So Gaga….why do you feel the need to skin them down?! So much for bloody fake propaganda.
    Next time we going to accept Pedophiles too?!cos they were born that way?!
    I love to know who is behind her, who is financing her and all, although I might have a clue!

  • Annie

    Wow way to jump from accepting mental illness to accepting child molesters. You must be SO educated!

  • wow

    Consider taking Gaga up on her offer of giving out free counseling. You seem a little unhinged. Pedophiles? Really? The fact that you can relate fur and pedophiles seems a little odd. Should Lady Gaga wear fur? No of course not, but if you are going to make an argument about why she should not wear fur maybe use some facts relating to the topic.

    Lady Gaga’s heart might in the right place but I wonder where her brain is. Offering psychological help might seem noble. However I am wondering how effective, helpful she can be since she is not trained in the intricacies of mental health therapy. Leave such serious matters to the mental health professionals.

  • ok

    um… don’t you have to be qualified to do that

  • Trina

    Obviously it’s not her who’ll be doing the counseling. Experts in the field will be on the bus.

  • Thebiglloydtree

    That a woman who constantly changes her appearance for more attention can sing about accepting yourself the way you are and actually be considered a positive role model for acceptance is commentary enough on today’s society.

    perhaps the counselling will work on why (in their right minds) anyone would buy tickets to go see her?

  • lala

    she is not the one giving the help :P

  • I

    Lol that will be amazing for her NA fans! She knows how to suprise her little monsters and how to make them happy!

  • Louis_XIV

    While it may be a good gesture to offer these counseling services it just furthers the notion that Gaga’s fans are a bunch of depressed nut jobs who are one insult away from killing themselves.
