❝Mental health challenges are one
of the greatest thieves
of human potential.

With the right support,
it doesn’t have to be,
and that’s why I launched
the Kevin Love Fund.❞

❝Everyone is going through something that we can’t see.❞

When Kevin Love publicly shared his personal story about challenges with mental health, he had no idea the movement it would create.

One by one, fans and other high-profile celebrities began to share their own stories of fear and struggle. Quickly, a national conversation had begun.

Kevin established the Kevin Love Fund (KLF) to inspire people to live their healthiest lives by creating equity between mental and physical health. As an evidence-based organization, we focus on research, education, and narrative change to break the stigma around mental health.
