Demi Lovato is not only an amazing musician, but she’s an amazing person, as well!
She was recently honoured by the U.S. Department of Health for her work as a youth mentor for mental health awareness. Demi was also applauded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for overcoming her personal struggles and becoming a great role model for kids everywhere.
Demi has been very vocal about her long battles with negative body image issues. She’s since taken her life in her hands and conquered her demons and now is an advocate for youth mental awareness to ensure that others going through similar issues do not feel alone.
“Every young person faces challenges as they work toward becoming an independent adult,” Demi pointed out in a speech. She continuing to state that “for those with mental health challenges, it can be even more of a struggle.”
Congrats, Demi! Keep up the awesome work!
