THE REAL Struggles of Men in Today’s World

from Psychology Talks · host Ambreen Nadeem Nadeem

Guest Speaker: Shawn LesserLet’s talk about something we don’t talk about enough…Men are often told: Be strong. Stay quiet. Handle it.But the truth is that:• Men are significantly less likely to seek help for mental health• They account for the majority of suicide deaths globally• And many struggle in silence, long before anyone noticesIn this episode. I’m sitting down with Shawn Lesser, Founder of THE REAL - a global mental health movement built on conversation, community, and capital.Shawn openly shares his own journey with mental health… and how that led to building a movement that now spans:• 600+ Ambassadors• 150+ Allies• 46+ countriesWe talked abut something deeper - what really happens beneath the surface… how even the strongest men, the ones who show up, lead, and carry so much, can still reach a breaking point.Honestly… this isn’t just about men.It’s about all of us, as leaders, partners, parents, and human beings.Because when one person suffers in silence, it never just affects one person.https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawnlesserthereal/thereal.care#mentalhealth #mentalhealthformen #mentalhealthchallenge #mentalhealthawareness
