Pop singer Demi Lovato will be honoured for her raising awareness about mental health issues.

The 24-year-old songstress will be felicitated with Artistic Award of Courage by The Jane and Terry Semel Institute at their biannual Open Minds Gala, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Lovato has been vocal about dealing with bipolar disorder and released the book "Staying Strong: 365 Days a Year", featuring inspirational quotes and life reflections, which went on to become a New York Times best-seller.

The event will be hosted by "Friends" star Lisa Kudrow on March 22 at the Beverly Hilton.
