A positive award for the star!
Dua Lipa has won a new and very wholesome award: the Mental Health Champion of the Year Award from The Trevor Project, a crisis intervention nonprofit supporting LGBTQ+ young people.
“Dua has been a fierce, longtime advocate for The Trevor Project’s life-saving mission,” the organization stated on its website. “In addition to Dua’s unwavering support of the LGBTQ+ community, she is a dedicated mental health activist, frequently discussing her own struggles over the years and how she maintains her well-being.”
The Grammy Award winner expressed her gratitude while accepting the award, stating, “I am unbelievably moved and honored to receive this year’s Mental Health Champion of the Year Award.” She continued, “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. The LGBTQ+ community has been my biggest champion 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.”
Lipa is the fourth person to receive this honor from The Trevor Project, following Lil Nas X in 2021, Janelle Monáe in 2022, and Dylan Mulvaney last year.
Special thanks to The Trevor Project for providing these images for news outlets to use—it was incredibly convenient and made reporting this story much easier for me.
