Little Monsters rejoice - Lady Gaga officially announced on Facebook that she will be offering fans free mental health counseling and therapy services before each of her upcoming "Born This Way" tour pitstops as a "fun tailgating experience for monsters to unite." Professionals will be available at a Lady Gaga BornBrave Tour Bus pre-show to help Little Monsters cope with bullying, depression, and any other mental health issues that they may be experiencing in promotion of the songstress' Born This Way Foundation.

Lady Gaga posted this Facebook message to fans on Friday, Dec. 28:

"For those wondering about the 'counseling' at the BTWBall BornBrave pre-show, it will be a fun tailgating experience for monsters to unite. 

At the BornBrave Bus you have access to professional private or group chats about mental health, depression, bullying, school & friends. There will also be food and games, DJ White Shadow and Lady Starlight will DJ with host BREEDLOVE to keep the experience fun. 

BornBrave Bus Is a place where mental health + depression are taken seriously w/ no judgment, FREE real help available to all. I feel like most kids don't look for help because they feel embarrassed so mom + I wanted to break the stigmas around "help" and make it fun.

I'm counting down the days till the Ball starts up again. ONLY 3 MONTHS LEFT OF TOURING, what will I do!!!!?? I love seeing you every night!"

And many fans are totally digging it:

Christina Nina: "That is amazingly and stunningly commendable of you! So wonderful the help you are giving....I am SURE lives will be saved because of this."

Natalie Reed: "It's the interaction that makes you such an influence. Actions speak louder than any voice! I am proud to be a monster! love your face!"

Dale Mello: "You inspire my heart EVERYDAY!"

John Paul Arreaga: "Gaga, thank you for not giving up on us. I've been through school bullying so damn much. When I went through all that teasing and humiliation... Cried to sleep but then awoken by a nightmare that I know will stay in my childhood. When I started to take notice of you, my inner life made a spark and feeling i [had] always wanted. With the power of your music and message to the youth, I feel better and free than what I did a few years ago. Thank you. 
I don't call u my queen, you are mine and billions of other monsters guardian angel. Thank you gaga."

Julia Fellows: "That is such a great way to open doors for anyone struggling with who they are inside.... in any regard. Those struggles are real and there are people willing and able to listen and guide you to a better place!"
