📅Today is Emergency Services Day!

Emergency Services Day (also known as 999 Day) is a national day across the UK. It is supported by HM The King, HRH The Prince of Wales, the Prime Minister and First Ministers of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

999 Day is our chance to support the heroic people of the NHS and emergency services.

These wonderful people go to work each day to keep us safe & well, often putting their own health and wellbeing at risk. They touch people's lives at often frightening times, when people are anxious, hurt, exhausted and may forget to say thank you, and may even take their frustrations out on the very people trying to help them.

Emotionally traumatic events can negatively affect anyone;
▪ the person who lived through it
▪ those who witnessed it
▪ those who helped during & after
▪ those who heard about it

Trauma Therapy by Trish is proud to continue to offer a 10% discount to all NHS staff AND extend that offer to our wonderful Emergency Service workers in Coventry & Warwickshire. 🎈

Everyone should be able to access Mental Health support when they need it.

📅Today is International Literacy Day!

Did you know I am a former Teaching Assistant (Level 3 qualified with 6+ years primary experience) ❓

I also have an enhanced DBS on the Update Service and Public Liability Insurance.

"Literacy" in schools usually refers to English (Reading & Writing).

So it seems apt, today, to remind you of my Educational Support Services that are Literacy based.

3 different support areas;
Read Write Inc
Letter Formation & Fine Motor Strengthening
Phonics & Reading

If you are currently recruiting for a KS1 TA, or have one on short-medium term leave, why not consider whether one of my services could be a temporary partial fill-in?

Maybe you have other professionals come in to provide PPA cover for specific lessons (such as music or PE), have you ever considered a half or full term block for Handwriting for half an hour a week to support that? (Whole class sessions will require a school TA presence as well).

Invoiced bespoke service to suit your needs - no agency fees - no additional PAYE costs. 🎈

There are more and more families home-educating locally, this service is also available to you!

Email: [email protected] to book a FREE consultation to discuss your requirements and availability.

Gone Back to School ✅

How has it been?

No, really, how has it been for you, for your child?

Many children will have returned to school, happy to be back with friends and routine. 🙂

But for some, particularly at key transition points, Yr7 for example, or if they have had difficult experiences previously in school or recently at home, returning to school may have been fraught with tears, screaming, leg hugging, moodiness, refusal, and so much more.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE! 🎈

🔶A 12 week programme of D&T may help support these children.
🔶It is an Attachment-based intervention
🔶It is child-led; they draw & talk about whatever they like

📧Email: [email protected] to arrange a FREE telephone consultation about the needs of your child.

Had you noticed it was International Day of Charity? 🎈

This is my chance to really tell you about the work of this local Coventry charity, Tiny Tim's Children's Centre... (from their website)

We treat children with disabilities and special needs from babies to 18 years of age. Although our centre is based in Coventry, we will treat any child with a need, no matter where they come from as long as they can get to our centre. Patients do not have to be referred by healthcare professionals; they can telephone and speak to a therapist who will book them in for an initial assessment. We work alongside other local services to ensure a co-ordinated and seamless approach to the provision of services to these ‘most in need’ children.

For many of the children receiving therapy, both parents and therapists have observed beneficial changes. Examples include; improved mobility and posture, improved sleep and relaxation, lowering of tension, help with respiratory and circulation problems, reduced constipation, heightening of touch and spacial awareness, stimulation of neuromuscular activity and related muscle tone and improved sense of well-being. In some cases there are improvements in concentration and social behaviour.

Continuing my posts for International Day of Charity, and raising awareness of the local Coventry charity Tiny Tim's Children's Centre of which I am proud to be a Trustee.

So, why this charity?

Here is my story...

My name is Trish Jarvis, I am a single mum of two young people with Autism (now in their 20s) living in Coventry since 2001.

My eldest child, used the massage therapy services at Tiny Tim's circa 2013 with Helen on a Saturday to help him relax and de-stress from the school week. He also had initial sessions with both OT (handwriting & shoelaces) and Physio (to ascertain walking gait issues and why he kept tripping over his own feet), we took advice from those professionals but did not continue with treatment at Tiny Tim's.

We also booked a birthday party as a cost effective, stress and mess free alternative in the days when you did not have to close off to the public. My best friend followed suit!

I have a BTEC National Diploma in Business & Finance, and my first full time job was as a Trainee Accountant. Since then, I have a varied occupational history including many roles in customer service, local government services, hospitality and education.

I was on the Parent Partnership Board for Coventry Surestart North East when it was set up, including being on the interview panel for the Centre Manager.

I was co-founder and treasurer of The Friday Club Parent & Toddler Group which ran in Wood-End 2003-2008, including a successful bid for New Deal for Communities funding.

After home-educating my eldest child for two years 2009-2011 due to SEND needs not being met, I trained as a Teaching Assistant, where I specialised in Autism & SEND albeit within mainstream primary schools. I worked for two different Coventry primary schools and two more in Warwickshire.

I now run my own business (since 2022); Trauma Therapy by Trish, which provides emotional wellbeing and educational support services in Coventry, to schools, charities, community groups and private individuals, and most recently have been a recognised external provider for wellbeing activities for the HAF (Holiday Activities and Food) programme this Summer.

I am part of a number of business networks and attend local business expos, so have a number of people I can ask for advice or signpost to at any time.

As a self-employed person I have more control over my time, which enables me to support my family better, and allows me the time to give something back to Tiny Tim's by being a Trustee. I look forward to being able to support as and where I am able. 🎈

Following on from my earlier post, this International Day of Charity I wanted to share some information about the local Coventry charity who I am a Trustee for. 🎈

The object of the charity is to provide as many free treatments to all children who need them. The charity has continuously provided therapy free of charge to children with disabilities and special needs since 1997. Initially, the charity only provided remedial massage, neuromuscular massage and touch therapy, along with free play sessions in our Soft play area.

They have now extended services to include, Bowen therapy, Physiotherapy and Occupational therapy. There has been a steady increase in demand for their services over the years. More recently to protect the charities future they have had to replace our free play sessions with a discount card for use in our Purple Planet soft play area.

📢All children can use Purple Planet facilities for soft play or birthday parties 🎉 from age 0-10yrs (upper height restriction 5ft) and is a great way to support the charity, as the profits from Purple Planet go directly into the charity for providing treatments.
