At DAY1DADS, we believe in the power of community and the strength that comes from shared experiences. Our mission is to support dads, moms, and caregivers by providing access to essential resources, creating meaningful connections, and fostering a network of support that empowers families to thrive. Whether through our Hey Dad and Hey Mom initiatives, impactful merchandise, or community events, we are committed to making life a little easier for everyone.
DAY1DADS Impact Foundation was born out of a friendship that has lasted over 25 years. Steve and Curtis have journeyed through life together, each raised by incredible single moms who showed unwavering strength and love despite the challenges they faced. These experiences shaped who they are today, fathers committed to making a difference.
Our mission at DAY1DADS is rooted in these shared experiences. We aim to create a legacy that helps others navigate the challenges of life with the knowledge that they are not alone. Through our Hey Dad, Hey Mom initiatives, we provide access to resources and build a community where everyone can find the support they need to live a healthy and meaningful life.
The Hey Dad initiative is our way of supporting fathers who, like us, are navigating the complexities of parenthood. We understand the challenges and the triumphs that come with being a dad, and we’re here to make the journey a little easier.
Subsidized Services
The Hey Dad Care Card offers access to over $1,000 in subsidized services, including mental health support, counseling, and community resources.

Just as Hey Dad was created to support fathers, Hey Mom was born from a deep understanding of the challenges faced by mothers. Our personal experiences with single moms—our own mothers—have profoundly shaped who we are today. They did it all, raising us with unwavering strength and love. Now, they continue to inspire us as amazing and involved grandparents.
In recognition of their sacrifices and the incredible roles they’ve played in our lives, we are committed to bringing together a team of strong, capable women to lead this initiative. Our mothers are the reason we are here, and this is our way of paying it forward—by helping other mothers through Hey Mom. We aim to build a community of shared experiences, meaningful connections, and access to essential resources, empowering mothers to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. Just as we’ve successfully created a supportive network for dads, we are dedicated to doing the same for moms.

Help Clinic Canada is a nationwide group of counselling professionals dedicated to reducing the costs and time associated with travel, making support available even in remote areas or to those with demanding schedules. We believe that therapy should be easily accessible, allowing individuals to attend sessions from the comfort and security of their homes, workplaces, vacations, or when away for work.
For 40 years, we’ve been equipping Canadians with the information, knowledge and skills necessary to respond to people considering suicide. We educate online, in print, and interactively.
