Dua Lipa named The Trevor Project’s Mental Health Champion of the Year

The Trevor Project, a suicide prevention and crisis intervention organisation for LGBTQ+ young people in the U.S. and Mexico, awarded Lipa with the honour due to her “outspoken support for LGBTQ+ rights and her candour around her own mental health struggles”.

In a press statement, the ‘Houdini’ singer shared that she was “unbelievably moved and honoured” to receive the award.

“The Trevor Project is an organisation that is near and dear to my heart, and I am humbled to play a part in shining a light on mental health awareness for LGBTQ+ young people. You are a beautiful, unstoppable community, and I am constantly in awe of the courage and strength you demonstrate when you stand proudly in your truth.

“To every young person out there: know that you are loved, you are not alone and The Trevor Project is a wonderful organization that is always there for you,” she continued.

“The LGBTQ+ community have been my biggest champions since the start of my career, and I will continue to fight to make sure your voices are heard, your rights are protected, and you are treated with respect for being just the way you are.”
