While the pandemic is slowly starting to wane, everyone is still recovering from two years worth of quite the emotional toll. Luckily, access to mental health services has become much more available, and Justin Bieber wants to help.
The pop star has just announced he is partnering with BetterHelp, an online therapy site seeking to provide accessible therapy services to everyone. Bieber, who is starting the first wave of his Justice tour for his sixth album, realizes the impact the pandemic has made on everyone, especially the touring industry. The partnership started out as a way to offer his 250+ person crew access to mental health services, but it didn’t stop there.
Justin Bieber is partnering with the online therapy platform BetterHelp to provide free access to therapy for his touring crew and his fans.

Now, Bieber is giving access to his fans to the same services, for up to one month. He tells Billboard, “The one thing I’ve learned over the years is that we all go through our ups and downs, and we all need help sometimes. Being able to offer access to free therapy to my fans and tour family is a real blessing, and I’m humbled to be able to do it.”
The services from BetterHelp can be used for Bieber’s fans or they can share with friends or family. To cover the initiative, the counseling website has committed $3M for services.
Collaborating with the online therapy site was an easy decision for Bieber, who is open about his own mental health as he navigates being in the spotlight since he was a child. In an interview with Billboard from 2021 he remembers some of the difficult times and shares, “I also have done the work to know why I was making those decisions. I know where that pain was coming from, that caused me to act the way I was acting.”
