The ICB has partnered with BFB Labs to offer free access to Lumi Nova to children aged 7–12 who are facing difficulties with fears, worries or anxiety.
Lumi Nova – Tales of Courage is an innovative, intergalactic adventure game designed to immerse players in exciting adventures through space.
As players transform into newly recruited ‘Luminaut’s’, they embark on exciting adventures across various planets, encountering new characters along the way. The game allows the player to undergo challenges, which aids in building confidence and overcoming their fears. Based on ‘exposure therapy’ (the most effective part of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – CBT), the Lumi Nova app is scientifically proven to be effective and incorporates players’ goals to be broken down into manageable steps, allowing users to gradually build their confidence and adopt approaches to self-manage their anxieties.
