Lumi Nova is a FREE intergalactic adventure game to support young people to fight fears and manage worries. Whilst exploring planets, customising characters and earning treasure your child breaks their fears and worries down into manageable steps, learning life-long skills and building resilience.

- have problems with sleeping or eating
- have angry outbursts
- have negative thoughts about what’s going to happen
