Why Green Square Was Created
Green Square started as a personal response to frustration and confusion. Many people—including the founders—have felt lost, overwhelmed, or failed by existing mental health services. Often, this was not because help wasn’t available, but because it wasn’t visible or accessible in ways they understood.
The idea grew from the simple hope to create a beacon—a recognizable sign that says: “Here is a safe space for support.” We wanted to help people like ourselves who weren’t sure where to turn, who felt isolated and invisible in their struggles.
By making safe points of contact clear and visible across workplaces, online platforms, and communities, Green Square aims to reduce stigma, build trust, and encourage open, compassionate conversations about mental health.
Our Mission
We are building a community of “adopters”—individuals and organizations committed to being present, listening without judgment, and promoting mental health awareness openly. Our mission is not just to offer resources, but to foster genuine connection and understanding everywhere the Green Square appears.
Our Philosophy: The C.O.P.E. Method
Everything we do is built on four key principles. C.O.P.E. is our promise to you, and the promise every Green Square adopter makes:
Connect: We create genuine human connection. When you reach out, you’re talking to a person who has chosen to listen, not a bot or call center.
Open: We embrace openness and welcome all expressions, whether your day is good, bad, or silent. There is no judgment here.
Patient: You share at your own pace—whether one line or a long letter, we meet you where you are without pressure.
Empathy: We strive to understand and validate your experience, learning from our own journeys and supporting yours without telling you what to do.
What Green Square Does
- Visibility & Trust: By placing the Green Square symbol in workplaces, social media, and community spaces, we make mental health support visible and approachable.
- Community Building: We nurture a respectful, stigma-free environment where people share stories, find resources, and support each other.
- Ethical Support: We protect privacy, refuse data monetization, and focus on genuine help—not profit.
- Partnerships: We collaborate with individuals, businesses, and organizations who share our values—to expand reach and impact.
