Hello, I’m Rebecca, a Project Lead for Emerge at the William Harvey Hospital and Queen Elizabeth Queen Mother Hospital in East Kent. I enjoy coming alongside young people and being there to support them. This may be just chatting, playing games and getting to know them or listening to their challenges and giving encouragement or more practical support. I love singing, listening to music and meeting people from all walks of life. I am a private foster carer, I have enjoyed doing this since the year 2000, supporting children and young adults from various backgrounds and empowering them to be effective and efficient, making a difference in their community.

Hi I’m Molly, a youth support worker at QEQM! Having recently joined Emerge, I am really excited to be involved and it is a privalege to be able to come alongside young people and support them in their most difficult moments. My own experiences with poor mental health have given me a real passion to support others and to show young people they are valued and that there is hope.
In my spare time you’ll find me behind the lens of a camera filming weddings, hanging out with friends (even better if brunch is involved) or having fun with my niece.

I hold a qualification in Mental Health First Aid.
