Would you like to help us make lumin&us® even better for families like yours as we conduct our 2025 research trial with the University of Birmingham? We’re offering families up to 12 months free access to the Premium version of our award-winning family app!
What is lumin&us®?
The lumin&us® App was created with families by mental health professionals to support parents and carers with professional tools and strategies to support good family mental health. Regular use of the lumin&us® App has been proven to:
- improve parent / child relationships
- reduce parent / child conflict
- support parents / carers in managing their child’s BIG emotions
- introduce more joy, fun and laughter into family life
Now you can enjoy lumin&us® – and help families like yours!
This research trial will help us understand more about how lumin&us® works for families like yours. By contributing to this research, you will receive free access to lumin&us® Premium but you will also be helping us improve what we do. We need as many families as possible to help us with our research so please share the page link with anyone you feel would be interested.
I’m a parent / carer. What do I need to do?
Simply register using the form on this page. You’ll then be redirected to where you can fill in a couple of short surveys (10–15 minutes). Then, download and enjoy using lumin&us® Premium with the family for free for six weeks. In six weeks you’ll fill in the short surveys again to receive continued access for another nine months free.
See below, ‘Information for Parents & Carers’ for research requirements.
Can professionals contribute?
Of course. We also want to hear from professionals working with families about their experience with lumin&us®. Professionals can fill out a short, 10 minute survey to access lumin&us® Premium for the duration of the research trial. After six weeks, we’ll be back in touch to ask you to complete the survey again. Professionals who complete the survey twice will receive a discount code to share with their families.
If you are an organisation working with parents and carers of 3–12 year olds, we’d love it if you could also share information about the research trial. We’ve created a set of resources to help you below.
- Email to organisations
- Email to families
- Digital how-to leaflet for professionals
- Printable instructions for professionals to show to families in person
