Stanford honors Selena Gomez for using her platform to advocate for mental health.
, Gomez was chosen for her"contributions to mental health, particularly for her advocacy fighting shame and stigma, as well as her commitment to expanding access to resources as a social entrepreneur and digital mental health pioneer."
The new documentary, which follows Gomez's journey with depression and bipolar disorder, attempts to shine light on the ups and downs of mental illness with a candor many wouldn't expect from such a well-known star. Gomez lets fans in on some of her most vulnerable moments, reads excerpts from her own journal, and makes an effort to break down some of the stigma surrounding diagnoses like hers.
On its website, Stanford adds that the former Disney channel star"inspires millions of people with her art, yet Gomez transcends these roles by vulnerably sharing her mental health journey, reminding us that suffering is universal." Ultimately, it's this kind of transparency and willingness to open up in such a public way that makes Gomez deserving of an award like this.
