It improves wellbeing and relationships by helping adults and children understand and identify the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. We call our model 'The Lighthouse Model'. It was created as a way to continue supporting famillies during Covid lockdowns. Using this model, we find that children – and adults too – can make sense of how they are feeling which helps them to understand their behaviours and support regulation. Our model supports adults and children to find their way back to feeling safe through fun, interactive and engaging games and activities designed to improve relationships and support mental and emotional wellbeing.

Before using the App, my son used to go straight to his room to play video games after school. Now he asks to play a game and we sit together, laugh and we end up talking about his day at school." Parent to 10 yr old and 8 yr old "The years go by so quick and there is always something to do around the house. This app has made us move playing together up the agenda. It has 100 per cent success rate. It always improves the atmosphere in the house and my son has never refused it." Parent to 7 yr old "We had used Beacon's paper-based resources which we loved, but they were difficult to use when we weren't at home. With the App I have the all the games in my pocket. It really helps calm my children (and me) when we're doing things like shopping or waiting in queues." Parent to 3 yr old and 6 yr old
