Demi Lovato Teams Up With Seventeen and Jed Foundation for Love Is Louder
Demi Lovato has partnered with Seventeen Magazine and The Jed Foundation to spread the message that love is louder than the pressure to be perfect. In addition to this collaboration, she has taken on a role as a contributing editor for Seventeen Magazine and Seventeen’s online platform, where she shares guidance rooted in her own experiences with readers who are navigating the tricky years of adolescence. The partnership blends Seventeen’s broad reach among teens with The Jed Foundation’s mental health expertise, creating a multi-channel push that includes editorial pieces, social media messages, and public service resources designed to help young people feel seen, supported, and capable of seeking help when they need it. This effort is part of a broader movement toward open conversations about mental health in both the United States and Canada, where schools, families, and communities are increasingly looking for practical steps to address pressure, anxiety, and self-criticism. Lovato’s involvement as editor gives young readers a direct line to a public figure who has talked openly about her own struggles with body image, self-worth, and recovery. The goal is not only to promote the slogan love is louder than perfection but also to provide real-world tools, stories, and guidance that encourage resilience and authentic self-expression in everyday life.
When the pressure to be perfect becomes overwhelming, finding an outlet can be a crucial lifeline. Demi Lovato has often spoken about how creativity has helped her weather difficult moments, and in this campaign she reiterates that message with a clear, personal touch. The quote, “When the pressure to be perfect is overwhelming, find an outlet. I love to paint,” Lovato says, reflects a broader belief that artistic expression—whether painting, writing, music, or any other form of creative endeavor—can redirect fear into focus, channel energy into something constructive, and remind young people that their value isn’t tied to flawless appearances or flawless performances. The Love Is Louder initiative uses this idea as a touchstone, pairing emotional support with accessible, everyday strategies for coping with stress, including reaching out to trusted friends, seeking professional help when necessary, and cultivating outlets that reinforce well-being. The collaboration is designed to equip teens with knowledge and confidence to speak up, ask for help, and extend kindness to peers who may be silently struggling. By combining Seventeen’s editorial influence with Jed Foundation resources, the campaign aims to normalize conversations about mental health and to create a ripple effect that reaches classrooms, social circles, and online communities across North America.
