RB GROUP

His book, titled This is Depression, is a personal story after losing his son to depression and suicide. Determined to use grief as a powerful tool for change and removing the stigma associated with mental health, Reggie decided to write the book to honor his son, Avery Burton after he suffered a major depressive episode in 2017. In the process of healing, he rediscovered his passion for story telling and helping others find their voice.

Since he began writing the book, Reggie and his family started the Avery R. Burton Excellence in Academics and Sports Scholarship and the Avery Burton Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit, dedicated to mental health outreach and saving lives. If you or your company is looking to partner with a non-profit focused on removing the stigma around mental health disorders, let’s work together to flip the script on depression.
