put your teen in trusted hands

luna views the community as experiencing adolescence in stages - not ages - and so all content is created with this in mind; appropriate warnings are added at the beginning of content so no one in the community needs to engage with more sensitive topics if they don't want, or if they are not yet ready to

to educate, empower and support teens so that no teen has to go through this time of their lives feeling confused or alone

the app is primarily aimed at young people aged 11-17 experiencing things like menstruation, puberty and all of the tricky scenarios that come with being a teen; but there's nothing stopping parents, guardians, teachers or others joining if they too want to learn

Jasmine Schembri-Stothart and Jo Goodall are the co-founders of luna – together with a team of medical experts and teens from across the UK they have co-created the content and the design of luna

the answers to ‘Ask luna’ questions are verified by medics and/or well-being experts, depending on the focus of the question – of course, some questions will not have a simple answer and in these cases luna will present a balanced assessment that is appropriate for the age group of the commmunity

yes luna is completely closed and there is nowhere on the app for the community to communicate with each other; protecting those who use luna is at at the forefront of the app's design

no, luna can't do this; the app isn't a diagnostic tool but rather informational and so can't offer personalised medical advice – any questions seeking specific medical help that are sent in to the app can't be answered, instead the asker will be pointed to their healthcare provider, GP, 111 or A&E

luna is for everyone who wants to use it; some of the content refers to things that only people going through AFAB (assigned female at birth) puberty will experience, eg. periods, female hormonal cycles, but other content will be more relevant to everyone experiencing puberty, e.g. toxic friendships, greasy hair

we take an educational but fun approach, like a medical older sister – we aim to give our community the facts, but we leave opinions as well as any actions needed up to the individual

our content is created and verified by luna's team of medics, who you can meet on the "about us" page via the website or in app

questions are answered by our team of medics and approved by our clinical content advisors, who you can meet on the "about us" page via the website or in app
