Tú Eres Suficiente --- It Is Time To Share It Forward And Remind One Another That Together, We Are More! In an effort to reach more Spanish speaking individuals to remind them that they are worthy, seen, and supported, we will be launching its Spanish speaking website, Tú Eres Suficiente in October 2026. In 2025 we launched our first Spanish billboard and now have snagged the Tú Eres Suficiente URL which we plan on using in a very big way! Cathy Caplener, the founder of G

When we were asked to team up with the South Bay Swim for Mental Health which took place on September 20th in Torrance, CA, the decision was a no-brainer. So the natural thing to do was to provide YOU ARE ENOUGH swim caps and wristbands for the event's swag bag! The non-profit event, formerly the 10K Swim for Mental Health, was founded by members of the South Bay Masters Swim community in 2020 after a friend and fellow ocean swimming mate's son passed away unexpectedly durin

When I started the YOU ARE ENOUGH campaign I never thought that I would be organizing 5Ks and after putting on four of them I am so glad I made the decision to do so! Sure, the event is one that gives folks a chance to hang out in beautiful Hermosa Beach while getting in a little exercise and some cool swag. But most importantly the event is about connecting and being with a community that understands the importance of helping others feel worthy, seen, and supported. We a

Thank you, Lamar Advertising for choosing YOU ARE ENOUGH as your May Mental Health Awareness PSA recipient for the past three years!

Depression is linked to a genuine pessimistic bias rather than a realistic view of the world A recent study published in the journal Behaviour Research and Therapy provides evidence that people experiencing symptoms of depression hold genuinely pessimistic biases about future positive events, rather than simply viewing the world more realistically. The research suggests that while individuals with depression can update their beliefs when desirable things happen, these hopefu

The main reason I started my non-profit, Giving Purpose Organization/YOU ARE ENOUGH, is to help people feel that they matter. I add two more parts to the mission by stating that the mission is to help people feel seen and supported as well. When you think about it, we all just want to feel seen and worthy.

I have a feeling many of us feel this way and that a lot of folks also do not realize that the Hispanic and Latino (Latinx) population in California, and especially Los Angeles, is the majority as far as our population is concerned. With 39.52% of the total population, Hispanic and Latino Americans are the largest ethnic minority in California. When I lean into this, I think of how many of these individuals are not seen for their value and the hard work that many have to
