Jazz Jennings, 20, wants anyone suffering in a “dark depressing place” to know that it “gets better.” The transgender star of I Am Jazz is lending her voice to promote the first ever Mental Health Action Day, happening May 20, and she told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY that she wants to be a light for anyone struggling. “I know how crippling it can be to be in that dark depressing place,” she shared, “and I just want to be a leader and voice for so many others out there to let them know that it does get better.
That there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, there is always hope. As long as you maintain faith in that hope, things can get better.” Mental Health Action Day is aimed at shifting us from awareness to action on mental health,
