A & E First Aid

A & E First Aid Supporting Family's & Businesses with First Aid and Aquatics Training I'm Jess Mum, Wife and passionate about teaching.

In 2017 I was formally diagnosed with dyslexia and it was one of those life altering moments. My report detailed my strengths and weaknesses and a lightbulb moment occurred...why was I trying to fit into careers that had so many of my weaknesses at the heart of them?

18 months later I passed my first swimming exams and became a Baby & Pre School swimming teacher from there I am proud to say I went from strength to strength passing two further swimming exams allowing me to teach children an adults from beginners up to competitive swimming and that was just the start. Following my passion for teaching others I worked incredibly hard and completed my Level 3 Award in Education which enabled me to complete my Tutor qualification with the STA (Swimming Teachers Association) allowing me to Tutor new swimming teachers in several disciplines, more recently I also became a tutor for the RLSS. Part of my role as a tutor is to teach life saving, ensuring teachers are prepared should the worst happen. This has naturally lead me down the First Aid route. My dream has always been to teach & help others in any way I can and that passion is what has driven me to begin my own company teaching First Aid. Not only am I doing something that I enjoy but the thought that what I am teaching could actually save someones life is just an incredible thought.

10yr old Ella was able to recover a 12stone unconscious causality from the bottom of a 1.8m pool…BUT in a real emergency she knows the best way for her to help is to call the emergency services…..would your child jump in to save a friend or sibling? Unless you are trained DO NOT get in the water, call for help, find something to help them float, talk to them and try to calm them until help arrives. Do not become another casualty..

As a parent of two young girls this breaks my heart 💔 The NHS have put together the below information to help support young people with their mental health.

Ways to support a child or young person:

Be there to listen
Regularly ask your child how they're doing, to help them get used to talking about their feelings, and know there's always someone there to listen. You can get tips on Young Minds: How to talk to your child about mental health.

Support them through difficulties
Pay attention to how your child is feeling or behaving and try to help them work through difficulties. It may not be easy facing challenging behaviour, but try to help them understand what they're feeling and why. Learn more from the Maudsley Charity on difficult behaviour.

Stay involved in their life
Show interest in their life and what's important to them. It not only helps them value who they are but also makes it easier for you to spot problems and support them.

Encourage their interests
Support and encourage your child to explore their interests. Being active or creative, learning new things and being a part of a team helps connect us and boost our mental wellbeing.

Take what they say seriously
Listening to and valuing what they say makes them feel valued. Consider how to help them work through their emotions in constructive ways. Anna Freud Centre's guide on ways to support children and young people has more on this.

Build positive routines
Try to have structure around regular routines, especially around healthy eating and exercise. A good night's sleep is also important, so have a fixed time for going to bed and getting up. The Sleep Charity has relaxation sleep tips for children.

Cold water swimming can have many health benefits, including:

Improved cardiovascular health
Cold water swimming can improve blood circulation, lower blood pressure, and increase oxygenation.

Increased metabolism
Cold water swimming can increase your metabolic rate, forcing your body to burn more calories to stay warm.

Reduced inflammation
Cold water can reduce inflammation, which can help with pain and healing.

Improved mental health
Cold water immersion can improve mental clarity, focus, and alertness.

Improved sleep quality
Cold water immersion before bed can reduce nighttime wakings and improve the quality of sleep
