Singer Demi Lovato is the Global Citizen's newest ambassador to mental health.

The 25-year-old singer will work with Save the Children to help support children with mental health illnesses in Iraq, reported NBC.


"Ending the stigma around mental health conditions and supporting internally displaced children to build physical and mental resilience through education and access to justice is not a choice, it needs to happen, and it needs to happen now," Lovato said after the announcement.

The "Sorry Not Sorry" hitmaker, along with Global Citizen, will help fund the expansion of a Save the Children pilot program titled 'Healing and Education through the Arts', which will help violence-scarred young people living in Iraq's Kirkuk and Salah al Din areas.
