We’re thrilled to share that Dua Lipa (she/her), global icon and fierce advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, has been named The Trevor Project’s 2024 Mental Health Champion of the Year! This award celebrates influential public figures who use their platform to amplify mental health awareness and support for LGBTQ+ young people. Dua joins an inspiring legacy of champions, including Lil Nas X, Janelle Monáe, and Dylan Mulvaney, each of whom has contributed to The Trevor Project’s mission to save young LGBTQ+ lives.

Dua has long been a passionate ally to the LGBTQ+ community. In 2020, she spotlighted The Trevor Project on NBC’s TODAY Show, raising awareness and funds for LGBTQ+ mental health support. Upon accepting this year’s award, Dua shared a powerful message with our community:
“I am unbelievably moved and honoured to receive this year’s Mental Health Champion of the Year Award. The Trevor Project is an organization that is near and dear to my heart, and I am humbled to play a part in shining a light on mental health awareness for LGBTQ+ young people. You are a beautiful, unstoppable community, and I am constantly in awe of the courage and strength you demonstrate when you stand proudly in your truth. 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 have been my biggest champions 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.” - Dua Lipa (she/her)
In a special video, our CEO Jaymes Black (they/she/he) presents Dua with the award, celebrating her unwavering commitment to LGBTQ+ youth and her heartfelt dedication to breaking the stigma around mental health. We invite you to watch and celebrate this moment with us — a reminder of the strength and courage of the LGBTQ+ community and the importance of ensuring every young person feels safe and supported.
