Thornton also urged Kiwis not to be discouraged by suicide figures.
"I was not hugely surprised. I was always hoping for a different number, but I think anyone working in the advocacy and mental health area knows that there is more likely to be a peak before we see the decrease of the effects of what's going on."
Thornton was featured in an exhibition on mental health at the London Museum of Lost and Found Potential.
The 2020 New Zealand documentary The Girl on the Bridge deals with her struggles with mental health.

In February 2021, Thornton said the Ministry of Health silences criticism about New Zealand's mental health.
"The mental health system is functioning the same way that it has for so many years, which is a way that is silencing, which is a way that is discrediting of what people are going through. There are a lot of decisions being made in our Ministry [of Health] that do silence people. But my question is, what’s the danger in not talking about it?".
Thornton said after the film The Girl at the Bridge was released, government-funded mental health organisations that initially supported the project backed out because they couldn't be seen endorsing something critical of the Ministry of Health.
Thornton won the 2022 season of the dancing show Dancing with the Stars.
