The singer's Born This Way Foundation announced recently that the Born Brave Bus will join her on tour as a "space for youth to gather and celebrate their individuality in a safe arena where everyone is encouraged to be the person they were born to be."

On Twitter, the 26-year-old pop star explained that this will include "professional private or group chats about mental health, depression, bullying, school & friends."

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

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
