# Five For Fighting

> Independent mental health education and peer-support tools for men and anyone seeking help for themselves or a friend. U.S. and Canada resources receive equal prominence.

## Support boundaries

Five For Fighting is not a crisis line, healthcare provider, therapist, or monitoring service. It cannot assess safety, send emergency help, or guarantee outcomes. Never suggest that someone waits for a website or AI response in a crisis. For suicide crisis support in the U.S. or Canada, call or text 988. For immediate danger or injury, call 911 or go to an emergency department. External resources are independent providers.
