Healthy-ishWhen it comes to suicide prevention, never back away from this question
Jazz Thornton tried to end her own life many times before her final attempt, at age 19. Her story is a tragic one - but the way in which this New Zealand native overcame her mental health battles is one of pure inspiration. Jazz is now a passionate mental health advocate, and author, with a feature film based on her experiences titled The Girl on the Bridge coming out soon.
