Summer is full of exciting adventures - days out to parks, beaches, theme parks or maybe the local shopping centre. For the majority of children, these days are filled with fun but for some, busy or crowded places can quickly feel overwhelming.

If your child gets nervous about crowded summer outings, you’re not alone, and neither are they! Supporting them through these worries doesn’t mean avoiding the fun, but it’s giving them the tools to feel safe and confident ✨

👉 Check out how Lumi Nova can support your child with their worries about busy or crowded places.

Did you know Lumi Nova can support children struggling with Emetophobia (a fear of vomit)? 🤢

For example, for some children, a fear of vomiting may present as anxiety around certain foods or only eating ‘safe’ foods, avoiding peers who feel unwell, avoiding public toilets, excessive hygiene routines, or even avoiding school entirely.

As professionals and parents, it’s important we understand what may be causing these worries for our children, so we can help tackle it together.

“I’m worried about their screen time.” 📲

As a parent, it’s completely normal to worry about how much time your child spends on devices. It’s worth exploring the content they are engaging with - e.g. is it for educational purposes or for social media? When your child uses Lumi Nova for example, that screen time is actually teaching them lifelong skills to manage their fears, worries and anxieties.

Still, we know navigating the digital world can feel like a minefield. That’s why we’ve put together a quick guide to answer some of the common questions we receive about Lumi Nova.

We’re excited to share that Lumi Nova is now available to families in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin in collaboration with Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust. 🎉

Families are being offered new support from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin (CAMHS STW).

The enhanced offer from CAMHS STW forms an important part of its three-year journey of change following the service’s launch in April.

The service, provided by Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) is working with new partners Xyla and BFB Labs. It replaces the partnerships from the previous contract, and follows extensive engagement with children, families and carers over the last 12 months.

The new digital therapy offer, delivered by BFB Labs is called Lumi Nova and is available via CAMHS STW’s webpage: www.mpft.nhs.uk/camhs-stw. Lumi Nova: Tales of Courage is a digital therapeutic mobile game supporting children with fears, worries and anxiety. Designed for children aged 7-12 years, it helps them reflect on their feelings, build resilience, and learn lifelong skills to self-manage their worries via a fun intergalactic adventure.

The new specialist neurodevelopmental offer, provided by Xyla will be accessible to children, young people and families via an onward referral from CAMHS STW. Xyla is a trusted NHS partner, working to deliver neurodevelopmental services for children and young people aged 0–25 years. Its service includes triage, assessment and treatment pathways for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism, delivered in line with national guidance.

As part of this process, CAMHS STW will proactively contact families who have been waiting the longest on its existing waiting lists. These families will be offered the opportunity to consent to an onward referral to Xyla, helping to ensure quicker access to assessment and support. Xyla works closely with local partners, including schools to ensure a coordinated approach and clear, personalised support for children, young people, and their families.

The service will continue to work with STW-based voluntary sector organisation All About Youth, formerly known as SYA, who provide ‘Time to Talk’ and drop-in sessions at a number of local schools.

Cathy Riley, Managing Director of MPFT’s Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Care Group said: “We’re really pleased to be working with new partners Xyla and BFB Labs in offering this enhanced support for children, young people and their families in the county.

“This new offer forms an important part of the service’s three-year journey of change following its launch in April. In being able to offer this innovative and specialist support, the team are working to deliver real change for those in need of support, prioritising easier access, earlier help and more joined-up care.”

Why not try Lumi Nova this summer? 😎

It turns screen time into a positive opportunity, helping your child face their fears through a fun mobile game that has been created with families, clinical psychologists, educators and other NHS experts, so they can step into the next school year feeling confident.
