What is the TRUCE Framework
The TRUCE Framework: A foundation for family connection and how it relates to LOHA programmes and activities
TRUCE is the heart of LOHA’s approach. It stands for:
T | Trust – creating emotional safety and psychological trust |
---|---|
R | Resilience – Building inner strength, adaptability, and coping skills |
U | Understanding – Deepening awareness of self, others, and family dynamics |
C | Connection – Strengthening bonds through shared experiences |
E | Empathy – Developing emotional insight and compassionate communication |
