Many people are struggling in silence, and although we don’t have all the answers ourselves, it’s our hope that The Real Project serves as a conversation starter and helps open the door to real chats about mental health. By spreading awareness and initiating real conversations, we’re optimistic we can help fight the stigma while inspiring, empowering, and encouraging people to speak up and reach out for the help they need! If you or someone you love find yourself in a crisis, please call or text the lifelines below:
