We're stoked to support this incredible event featuring Jazz Thornton – a passionate mental health advocate, author, and co-founder of Voices of Hope.

You’ve probably seen her on TikTok or in The Girl on the Bridge — Jazz Thornton is seriously inspiring. She’s been through it, and now she’s using her story to help others with real talk about mental health, resilience, and reminding us we’re never alone.

This isn’t a boring lecture – it’s raw, real, and something every young person should hear. Whether you’re struggling, supporting someone, or just want to feel a little more human – this night is for you.

Bring your mates. Bring an open mind. Leave feeling a little lighter.
