Canada's top Disney star Jasmine Richards is using her celebrity to raise awareness for anti-bullying with her song "You Have The Power" with all download proceeds from itunes on May 7th going to Ottawa Youth Services Mental Health Aid. To kick off Mental Health Week May 7-13, 2012, Richards joins politicians, athletes, performers and mental health workers in the You Have The Power event happening in Ottawa, Ontario on May 7th. Jasmine Richards "You Have The Power"
Richards is best known for her roles in Camp Rock, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, Disney/Family Channel sitcoms Naturally, Sadie and Overruled. The new song and video "You Have The Power" is only a part of the work Richards is doing to raise awareness and help those suffering from bullying. She has created and co founded JasmineTheAntiBully.com to share her experiences and help direct kids and teens to the right organizations to get the help they need. www.jasminerichardstheantibully.com
By opening up about her own experiences with bullying, Richards hopes to inspire others to stand up against bullying and to raise awareness of the support available in most communities. 1 in 5 youth will experience a mental health issue, yet only 1 in 6 of those youth will actually receive services. Talking more openly about mental health issues will allow more youth to know about the services available.
