Who is it for?

Lumi Nova is for children aged 7-12 years old experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, such as:

• Phobias

  e.g. Being afraid of spiders or insects, heights, being near dogs, or the dark.

• Social anxiety

  e.g. Feeling worried about making new friends, going to social events.

• Separation anxiety 

  e.g. Unable to sleep alone, worried about being away from parents, going to school

and who is it not for?

Lumi Nova is not recommended for use by children with severe anxiety, in crisis, experiencing suicidal thoughts, or at risk of self-harm without the support of a mental health professional.

 

How it works

Lumi Nova includes two of the most effective parts of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) that are proven to help treat fears, worries and anxiety. These two parts are psychoeducation - learning about worry, and exposure therapy - facing your fears.

You start by setting a Mission for your child to work towards. Each Mission is broken down into 3 goals which they can achieve by completing small challenges. Breaking down their worries helps young people learn that they can face their fears while building their confidence!
