Jazz Thornton is the Co-founder of mental health charity Voices of Hope.
Jazz was sexually abused as a child and tried to take her own life 14 times from the age of 12.
Once Jazz was able to overcome this she wanted to create something she needed growing up.
With a background in film and TV, Jazz has spent the last 2 years directing a web series called Jessica’s Tree, which tells the story of a young girls suicide and is out now.
This conversation discusses sexual abuse, mental health and suicide, not in graphic detail but may be distressing to some listeners.
