Missy Qadar-Blacow (she/her)

Before joining Power2, Missy worked as a primary school teacher. She joined us because she felt she didn't have enough time as a teacher to support the children who needed extra mental health support.

I could see how much Power2 empowered young people with the life skills and confidence using innovative and caring approaches.

As a Programme Lead, it's Missy's job to lead every session of our group programmes, like Teens and Toddlers and Power2 Thrive. Supported by Programme Assistants, she'll facilitate discussions, deliver presentations on topics like communication, and encourage young people to reflect. This means they can improve their skills and mental wellbeing.
