We’re here for you, brother.

At Square 1, we’ve built a community where men can talk, listen, and support each other— no pressure, no judgement, no BS.

Too many men struggle in silence.
It doesn’t have to be that way.

Men are told to handle things on their own. We push through, stay quiet, and keep going—even when struggling. But carrying everything alone isn’t strength; it’s isolation. And too many men are reaching their breaking point without anyone to turn to.

At Square 1, we believe every man deserves a strong foundation. We’re a brotherhood of men looking out for each other, offering real support, and proving that no one has to figure this out alone.

The numbers

People in Canada die by suicide, which is equivalent to 12 people dying by suicide every day.

Every day, more than 200 people in Canada attempt suicide.

Of these numbers are men. They are your fathers, brothers, uncles, cousins, husbands and friends.

At Square 1, we’ve built a community where men can talk, listen, and support each other without pressure, without judgment.

Talk to a guy who gets it
No judgment. Just real conversation.


Private space to vent (or just listen)
Whether you want to share or just hear other guys’ experiences, we’ve got your back.


Tools that work
Simple, real-world ways to get unstuck and move forward.


A brotherhood, not a program
No checklists. No expectations. Just support.
