Part of her role will include helping children who struggle with mental health and learning disorders.
Stone, 30, has previously worked with the non-profit and their 2017 #MyYoungerSelf awareness campaign.
In a video shared as part of the campaign, Stone opened up about her own anxiety. “It’s so normal, everyone experiences a version of anxiety or worry in their lives and maybe we go through it in a different or more intense way, or for longer periods of time, but there’s nothing wrong with you,” she said. “To be a sensitive person that cares a lot that takes kids in in a deeper way is actually part of what makes you amazing.”
