Hillingdon’s Mental Health Support Team

We are delighted to announce our partnership with Hillingdon's NHS Mental Health Support Team who will be working at Heathrow each week.

The Mental Health Support Teams are an early intervention service who work in partnership with local schools to offer a whole school approach to mental health and wellbeing. 

Support available at Heathrow

Is your child finding it hard to fall asleep or switch off at night?
Do they often worry about school, friendships, or getting things wrong?
Are you finding their emotions or behaviour a bit harder to manage lately?

Our service might be able to help.

My name is Sharon, and I’m an Educational Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP) with the NHS Hillingdon Mental Health Support Team. We offer parent-led support for mild anxiety and behaviour challenges, as well as workshops, groups and practical guidance for parents, carers and pupils on children’s wellbeing.

It’s a common misconception that our team only supports mental health concerns. However, we’ve been formed to help families with everyday wellbeing challenges, such as:

• Trouble with sleep
• Friendship issues
• Identifying and regulating emotions
• Low confidence or self-esteem
• Reluctance or anxiety about going to school
• Worrying about tests or homework
• Behaviours that feel hard to manage
• Building healthy routines (sleep, meals, balance)
• Encouraging independence and responsibility

We’re here to listen, guide, and signpost you to the right support, not just for mental health, but for your child’s overall wellbeing. Our team also works with many secondary schools across the borough, where we support students with anxiety and low mood on an individual basis.
