Meet the 2020 Champions

Posted on September 8, 2020September 8, 2020

Riverbend is pleased to announce this year’s Champions for Mental Health

Brielle (Bre) Paquette and Emily Galeva

Brielle Paquette is an 18 year old, Salem High Senior.  She is an advocate for Children’s Mental Health winning the Magnify Voices Film and Writing Competition People’s Choice Award for her PSA“Mental Illness to Them”. Humbled and inspired by the impact of her video, Bre decided to use the influence of her title Miss Londonderry’s Outstanding Teen 2020 and created a platform of  “You Are Not Alone: changing the stigma of Mental Health”.  In addition to multiple speaking engagements, she is actively involved in her schools Mental Health Committee and creating more PSA’s and awareness videos.

Emily Galeva is 17 years old and a recent graduate of Lebanon High School. Witnessing first-hand the stress and struggles of her peers that was going unrecognized by adults, Emily was determined to raise awareness of mental health issues and address the stigma that prevents students from getting help.  As a an active member of the Girl Scouts, Emily decided that her Gold Award project, “Breaking the Stigma of Youth Mental Health in High Schools”, would strive to improve youth mental health outcomes.  She took her message to high schools in New Hampshire, and represented New Hampshire students at multiple state events and programs, including the Youth Summit in Concord, 99 Faces at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, No Safe Vape on Facebook Live; the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO), and more.
