In between taking on acting roles, Gomez has launched a mental health campaign called Mental Health 101. Gomez’s goal is to bring more mental health services to schools by posting facts and encouraging fans to take action with her. Along with the campaign, Gomez began the Rare Impact Fund, which is a fundraiser dedicated to creating more accessible mental health resources.
We believe that learning about mental health is just as important as any other subject. That’s why, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month next month, we’re launching the #MentalHealth101 campaign. 👏 pic.twitter.com/t5R7tuHsdR
