Emerge Projects at the Medway Maritime Hospital

At Medway Maritime Hospital the team are there to support you between 7pm – 11pm from Monday to Friday.

Meet the Team
I feel honoured to be part of the Emerge family, supporting young people going through tough emotional times, helping them to feel heard and encouraging them to find hope.
I am a Mum of two amazing adult children, a very proud Nan Nan to a precious granddaughter and (not forgetting), a very cheeky cocker spaniel who loves long walks on the beach, belly rubs and any scrap of garden rubbish she might be able to ‘swap for a treat’!
Linda has been supporting young people with their mental health since 2007 as an Emotional Wellbeing Practitioner within a SEN school, where she mainly specialised in CBT.
I feel so privileged being part of a charity like Emerge that brings hope to young people. It is something I am passionate about. I am a qualified youth worker and have been working with young people in education and the community for the last 17 years, with a focus on mentoring and mental health. I am involved in my local church and in charity work both in the UK and abroad. My other passions in life include my two wonderful children and our crazy cocker spaniel Hetty. We love going on new adventures together in the great outdoors, but not before a good coffee!!
Jo has a BA honors in Youth and Community Work with Applied Theology and a NVQ level 5 in mentoring young people. She is also a JNC qualified youth worker.
I am passionate about youth work and believe young people generally should be more at the centre in how we focus. Outside of Emerge I work full time as a Youth Mentor for an organisation in South London focusing on support for young people with some of the greatest challenges and largest deprivation. The aim of the work is to help them but equally to see them grow and achieve more than they ever thought they could before. I also volunteer in my church as a youth worker and when I’m not working I’m either spending time with my wife, watching or playing football and generally spending time with people.
Nathan has a BA honors in Applied Theology and Youth Work, a Qualification in both Solution Focused Therapy and Effective Mentoring and is a JNC Qualified Youth Worker
