Lumi Nova: What are the missions/what’s involved

After having registered for a game key (by visiting luminova.app/devon) and downloading Lumi Nova, parents and guardians start by shortlisting 3 worries that are relevant, practical to do and easy for their child or young person. Parents and guardians are encouraged to discuss which worries their child or young person would like to work on.

Each Mission is then broken down into 3 goals. The game will break their chosen worry down into smaller challenges to help them face their worries and learn that they can cope. The fi rst few challenges happen in the game (imagine, draw, photos, and videos) and then progress to real life challenges that will need support from a trusted adult.

What are the Missions?

• A Mission is a realistic and achievable long term goal or behaviour that supports a child or young person to feel less worried about. e.g. To feel comfortable sleeping on their own.
• The Missions available are based on social anxiety, phobias and separation anxiety.
• Each Mission is broken down into a short term goal, medium term goal and a long term goal.
• Breaking down their worries helps young people learn that they can face their fears while building their confi dence.
