As she said in her caption, “Being in a room full of people united by the same mental health goals gives me so much hope and reminds me why I started all of this in the first place.”

On a final note of thanks, Gomez celebrated the progress so far and looked to the future: “Here’s to expanding mental health resources for youth around the world I love you all and THANK YOU.”
