Emerge at William Harvey Hospital

Our youth workers provide short term support for young people aged between 10-25 years who find themselves in A&E because they are struggling with self-harm or feeling suicidal.

Emerge runs a project at William Harvey Hospital.

Have you recently attended A&E due to self-harm, suicidal ideation or emotional crisis? Want someone to speak to?

We are now taking referrals for our follow up support.

You can call us, or ask someone else to call us on your behalf, to chat about how we can support you.

Hi, my name is Steph and I am the Project Lead for Emerge based in Maidstone Hospital. I have a passion for helping young people find the confidence to believe in themselves. I live in Maidstone with my husband and love spending time with family and friends. Somehow we have been adopted by a local & very friendly cat. Outside of work, I work as part of Maidstone Street Pastors.

Hi there, I’m Matthew, Youth Support Worker for the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford Kent. I have a strong desire to help inspire young people to engage with the world that they live and work in to their fullest capacity. Having just recently joined the organisation, I had previously spent over 20 years working in microbiology labs for food and pharmaceutical production companies. I also Pastor a little church in Ashford which looks to serve the local community the best we can.
I live in Ashford, married to wonderful woman called Sheryl and have had the pleasure of being a father of what are now three adult children. We also have a mischievous, yet very amiable cat who seems to like too many fights!

If you are in hospital and would like to access this support, or if you are a parent or professional asking on behalf of a young person…

We are not a crisis line. If You need immediate support in a crisis moment, please call 999 or go to your nearest Hospital A&E
