WHY FIVE FOR FIGHTING?

No penalty for
asking for help.

In hockey, five for fighting means time in the penalty box. But fighting for your mental health shouldn’t leave you sitting alone.

Five For Fighting began with lived experience: knowing what it feels like to struggle in silence, and wanting to make reaching out easier. This is a place for guys to find a next step and learn to show up for each other. Everyone is welcome.
