Ariana Grande is kicking off the summer by paying it forward. The singer announced on Instagram that she is partnering with e-counseling platform Better Help to give away $1 million of free therapy. Better Help is the largest online counseling provider, aiming to make therapy more accessible for anyone struggling with their mental health.
“thrilled to be working with @betterhelp to give away $1,000,000 of free therapy !” Grande wrote on Instagram. “while acknowledging that therapy should not be for a privileged few but something everyone has access to, and acknowledging that this doesn’t fix that issue in the long run, i really wanted to do this anyway in hopes of inspiring you to dip a toe in, to feel okay asking for help, and to hopefully rid your minds of any sort of self judgement in doing so! i hope that you’ll take advantage of this opportunity and go to betterhelp.com/ariana to be matched with a licensed therapist for one free month. after that, you’ll have the choice to renew and continue. i so hope that this will be a helpful starting point and that you’ll be able to build space for this in your lives and continue! healing is not linear or easy but you are worth the effort and time, i promise! thank you so much to @betterhelp and i can’t wait to do more work together.”

Ariana is not being compensated for this initiative.”
Grande has been very outspoken about her mental health in the past. The superstar opened up to ELLE about her struggles with PTSD following the bombing attack of her Manchester concert in 2018. “When I got home from tour, I had really wild dizzy spells, this feeling like I couldn’t breathe,” she said. “I would be in a good mood, fine and happy, and they would hit me out of nowhere. I’ve always had anxiety, but it had never been physical before. There were a couple of months straight where I felt so upside down.”
