Kevin Love Fund - The Spider Within PSA

Everyone is going through something. Even superheroes.
This is the core public service message behind the new TV PSA campaign from the Kevin Love Fund (“KLF”), in collaboration with the Entertainment Industry Foundation, Sony Pictures Animation and Sony Pictures Imageworks.
The PSA campaign entitled, “The Spider Within”, features teenager Miles Morales, better known to some as Spider-Man, and is being incorporated into KLF’s new mental health focused lesson plan, “The Hero Within.” The free lesson plan invites students to tell their own story through the lens of mental health awareness via an interactive curriculum including a creative storyboard activity
KLF’s mental health curriculum launched in the fall of 2022 and currently has 15 lesson plans. The curriculum, which is offered in three languages, has been taught to over 75,000 students so far, and is now available globally.
