❝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.❞
– Kevin Love
❝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.
Globally, depression is
one of the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents
50% of all mental health
conditions start by 14 years of age but most cases are undetected
and untreated
The average delay between the onset of mental health symptoms and treatment is 11 years
The Kevin Love Fund envisions a world where anyone facing a mental health challenge is able to access the support needed to thrive, free of social stigma and at an affordable cost.
At the Kevin Love Fund, we value and model vulnerability, understanding, transparency, and collegiality in everything we do.
Our overarching goal is to ensure more than one billion people over the next five years are able to access the tools and resources needed to prioritize their mental health. Through a unique mix of education, research, advocacy, grantmaking, and public awareness campaigns, our holistic approach to stigma reduction and resource amplification is transforming lives.
❝If you’re having a hard time, I want to remind you that you’re not alone. Sharing what you’re going through could be the most important thing you do. It was for me.❞
