About this listen
Jazz Thornton first attempted to take her own life at the age of 12. Multiple attempts followed and she spent time in psychiatric wards and under medical supervision as she rode the roller coaster of depression and anxiety through her teenage years - yet the attempts continued.
Find out what Jazz learned about how her negative thought patterns came to be and how she turned those thoughts - and her life - around. Who and what helped and what didn't help. The insights she gives will help create greater understanding of those grappling with mental illness and provide support for those around them who desperately want to help.
Jazz went on to attend film school and to co-found Voices of Hope, a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping those with mental health issues and show them there is a way forward. She creates online content to provide hope and help.
Her first video Dear Suicidal Me has had over 80 million views all around the world. She went on to create Jessica's Tree, a web series that follows the 24 hours between a friend, Jess, going missing and the discovery of her body. It provides insights into Jessica's struggles, to help people better understand those suffering from depression. Jessica's Tree was viewed more than 230,000 times in the two months following its release in March 2019 and immediately began winning international recognition and awards, including the Huawei Mate30 Pro New Zealand Television Awards 2019 Best Web Series.
The process and the delicate decisions that had to be made to create Jessica's Tree have themselves been documented in a film about Jazz called The Girl on the Bridge, due for release early in 2020.

Life changing
Hearing about Jazz’s story allowed me to open up about my own personal mental health story that I had bottled up for many years. I could see a lot of my story in hers & I can safely say that I am on the road to recovery now.
This book I have read religiously since I first bought it, read it in paperback form 6 times and listened to it 8 times and each time I pick up on something different that resonates with me.
Thanks Jazz

unless someone like you cares a whole lot
Jazz has been vulnerable and so honest in her telling of her life story, and has become a real symbol of hope for others not just telling us, but showing us it is possible.
The book is written so that not only can people see and understand from where they are on their own journey how it can always get better, but also those who are fit and well can start to understand the thinking of someone who is fighting their own mental health battle.

Such an important message for those struggling with mental health but also for anyone and everyone to better understand it, from someone who has lived it.
