Meet Jabel. He was standing in line with me when I was chatting about the campaign with some cashiers at Trader Joe's who talked to me about how they hang out at the billboard on a daily basis as they struggle with feeling enough. Jabel was pretty sad and has lost three friends who served with him in the military. He wants to find a way to bring YOU ARE ENOUGH into some local VA Centers. 22 suicides a day by veterans is a very scary and real figure. Again, you just never know who is hurting and who needs to feel seen and held. So many veterans come home with PTSD and trauma that they will have in their DNA for the rest of their lives and as Jabel explains, when you know someone who is hurting, doing something as simple as sending a text can make a world of difference for that person. #ptsdawareness #ptsdsupport #veterans #traumainformed #suicideawareness #depressionisreal #stigmafree #supportourveterans #supportsystem #youareloved #youarenotalone #youareenough #yougotthis #sharethelove #compassionate #iamhere #iseeyou #military #traumahealing #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthtips #weareallinthistogether #helppeople
