    Lady Gaga has invited members of the National Council for Behavioral Health to set up stations outside each of her shows on her upcoming North American Born This Way Ball tour as part of her 27-city Born Brave Bus Tour, which will allowing her fans and attendees the chance to meet with psychologists for support and help.

    

Cynthia Germanotta aka Mama Gaga, and the president of the Born This Way Foundation that Gaga launched this year, said, "Now more than ever, our kids need access to support within their communities, including mental health services. By connecting youth to these local resources, we hope to plant the seeds that will help them deal with today’s challenges and inspire them to continue exercising their strength and bravery well after the Born Brave Bus leaves town."
