Over 100,000 people complete Lady Gaga's mental health training programme
The Be There Certificate, a partnership between Born This Way Foundation and Jack.org, aims to help people support others in distress.
More than 100,000 people worldwide have completed an online training programme designed to help them identify and support those struggling with mental health, according to the Times of India.
The initiative, known as the Be There Certificate, was launched in March 2022 by the Born This Way Foundation and the Canadian youth mental health organisation Jack.org.
The free, self-paced course consists of six interactive lessons that take less than two hours to finish and is available in English, French, and Spanish.
The training teaches participants how to spot signs of distress, show empathy, listen without bias, respect personal boundaries, and connect individuals with professional help.
Born This Way Foundation, co-founded by Lady Gaga and Cynthia Germanotta in 2012, announced the milestone in May 2026 alongside the launch of its Generation Be There campaign.
Data from Jack.org indicates that 95 per cent of those who finished the course felt prepared to support someone in need, while 85 per cent reported using these skills to help others.
