Jazz Thornton on the fight to save young minds

A social media ban for under-16s could do more harm than good
according to Jazz Thornton. The mental health advocate joins
Paula to discuss what she’s learned from time spent in
psychiatric wards with young people, redefining what it means to
be resilient, and the personal cost of sharing her own story of
survival so publicly.
