Voices of Mentemia
A growing collection of experts, advocates and activists who passionately support our mission to help millions of people with their mental wellbeing.
The power of voices.
Voices inspire, provoke thought, and help spark change.
People and their experiences are diverse, and wellbeing initiatives should reflect that.
Hearing from speakers of different ages, genders, ethnicities and social backgrounds helps to broaden our point of view and challenge our thinking.
It also helps people feel their own experiences are seen and heard.
That’s why we created Voices of Mentemia.
These individuals have been handpicked for the depth and richness they add to our eco-system.
They contribute through interviews, videos, and articles in our app, to engaging webinars and speaking sessions for workplaces using Mentemia.
Meet the voices.
Jazz Thornton
Mental health activist, author, director, speaker and co-founder of mental health charity Voices of Hope.
Jazz Thornton has dedicated her life to spreading hope and creating change in the mental health space, having survived a long battle with mental illness herself.
Growing up in small-town New Zealand, she is now globally recognised for her work in the mental health space, with international speaking engagements, documentaries, a TedTalk, and a dedicated and growing following on social media.
Jazz genuinely connects with people from all walks of life. She’s as comfortable speaking to a school as she is to a room full of CEO’s and business leaders.
