Simple, storytelling-focused conversations that foster open dialogue about mental health. These events, hosted by REAL Ambassadors around the world, help people understand they are not alone and feel a sense of community. We provide resources, such as a free month of therapy from BetterHelp, to all participants.

The REAL Origin Story

At 55, Shawn Lesser isn't just a father of two and a seasoned business leader; he's also a survivor. His recent struggles with anxiety and depression took him through two treatment centers in early 2023, where he was nicknamed "Shaky." Instead of letting the experience defeat him, Shawn used his inherent resilience and humor to overcome it. Now, he’s committed to sharing his journey to inspire and help other men facing similar challenges.
