Mental Health America of Dutchess County Presents "Your Best You: Real Conversations on Mental Wellness." Part of our mission at MHA is to raise awareness and make sure that we eradicate stigma around mental health. This is a really important endeavor we have here because when audiences take the time to listen to our interviews and watch the clips we create, that’s a big part of raising awareness. It’s making the phrase “mental health” not so hard to say.

"Everyone is Going Through Something" - Champions for Mental Health w/ The Kevin Love Fund
On today’s episode of Your Best You, we speak with Sara and Lucia from The Kevin Love Fund. Sara and Lucia share their experiences in athletics and academia, and how those moments shaped their advocacy for mental health education on and off the field.
The Kevin Love Fund (KLF) was founded in 2018 by NBA star Kevin Love after he publicly shared his struggles with anxiety and mental health in a groundbreaking Players’ Tribune article titled “Everyone is Going Through Something.” In this article, Kevin detailed a panic attack he experienced during a 2017 game, sparking a crucial conversation about mental health. By sharing his personal journey, Kevin shed light on the importance of addressing the need for an open dialogue around emotional well-being.
Recognizing the stigma surrounding mental health, the Kevin Love Fund provides both tools and support to help individuals embrace vulnerability and live healthier lives. As an evidence-based organization, KLF focuses on research, education, and narrative change to break the stigma around mental health.
