Ariana Grande Encourages Fans to Support Mental Health Awareness
Mental Health May is starting off on the right track as Ariana Grande shares her heartfelt support through Instagram. On May 2, Ariana Grande posted an educational thread about normalizing asking for help in regards to mental health. “Healing isn’t linear, fun, quick, or at all easy but we are here and we’ve got to commit to making this time as healthy, peaceful, and beautiful as possible.” Grande wrote in the caption.
Within the gallery of slides, Grande explains that this month she’ll be posting weekly about mental well-being to de-stigmatize the topic. Throughout the other infographics, an array of mental health and substance abuse resources are provided, such as Mental Health America, The Loveland Foundation, and SMART Recovery.

After the Manchester bombing during her concert, Grande reflects “[it’s] hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss. But yeah, it’s a real thing.” Later in the interview, Grande explains her experience with anxiety. “Everybody thought I was crazy when I got home and wanted to hit the ground running.” She recalls.
“Here’s to ending the stigma around mental health…” The artist wrote in her Instagram post above.
These days, Ariana Grande continues to advance her music career. Recently, the singer collaborated with The Weekend for a remix of “Save Your Tears” which has topped the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 1.
