Peers We Learn From

What We Learn From Selena Gomez

Mental health, vulnerability and using lived experience to help others.

Selena Gomez has made mental health advocacy a major part of her public work, speaking about bipolar disorder, therapy, and living with a chronic illness. She has consistently framed vulnerability as something useful to other people, not just to herself.

What stands out

  • · Naming a diagnosis out loud
  • · Therapy and treatment as ongoing care
  • · Turning personal experience into support for others
