Lzzy Hale launched the #RaiseYourHorns campaign to raise awareness for mental health issues.
Lzzy Hale has taken to social media to launch a mental health awareness campaign in the wake of the tragic death of Huntress frontwoman Jill Janus. Hale is asking fans to #RaiseYourHorns if they’d ever struggled with mental health issues, with a picture of herself kicking off the trend.
Hey Freaks, I’d like to do something. I want everyone who has ever struggled with mental health to #RaiseYourHorns take a pic, tag and share it. The more of us that put it out there,the less alone we will all feel & we will be one step closer to breaking the mental health stigma! pic.twitter.com/lAFwxf128y

Janus, who fronted the California heavy metal band Huntress, died of a suicide earlier this week after a long struggle with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder, according to Loudwire. Janus’ mental health battles became very public in 2015, when she suddenly ended Huntress, Loudwire reports. Although the band didn’t end up splitting up, Janus continued to struggle with mental health issues until she ultimately ended her life on August 14.
Hale, who referred to Janus as her “scream sister,” posted an emotional tribute to the frontwoman on Instagram, before turning to Twitter to urge her fans to share a picture of themselves “raising your horns,” referring to a hand gesture that is popular at many rock concerts and festivals.
