In recognition of World Mental Health Day, which aims to raise awareness and advocacy for prioritizing mental health and well-being, we’re spotlighting Sony Pictures Animation and Sony Pictures Imageworks’ partnership with the Kevin Love Fund. This nonprofit, founded by five-time All-Star NBA player and mental health advocate Kevin Love, inspires people to live their healthiest lives while providing tools for mental and physical health. Through the partnership, the Kevin Love Fund developed a new mental health-focused lesson plan, “The Hero Within,” inspired by the animated short film, The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story. The lesson plan invites students to tell their own stories through the lens of mental health awareness via an interactive curriculum, including a creative storyboard activity.    Watch The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story here: https://lnkd.in/gkvMQrKv
