What do the LOHA activities do?

Provides a summary of the LOHA activities.

LOHA Activities: Practical Tools for Stronger Families

LOHA includes a set of 38 interactive, family-friendly activities that help build:

  • Emotional connection

  • Self-awareness

  • Resilience

  • Communication

  • Compassion and empathy

Each activity is based on psychological principles and aligned with the TRUCE framework (Trust, Resilience, Understanding, Connection, Empathy).

🛠️ Key Features of LOHA Activities

  • Flexible – Each one takes between 5–20 minutes

  • Inclusive – Suitable for all ages, especially for carers and young people

  • Guided – Step-by-step instructions make it easy to follow

  • Customisable – Can be done at your own pace, on your own terms

  • Repeatable – Activities can be revisited as needed

📲 How do LOHA activities work?

You can:

  • Read them on your phone or tablet

  • Nominate someone to read aloud or take turns reading

  • Screencast to a TV so everyone can follow along

  • Use pen and paper for writing prompts, drawings, or notes

👉 If someone in the family isn’t ready to join in, that’s okay. You can continue without them, and let them know they’re welcome to join later.

🧠 What types of activities are included?

Each activity focuses on a different skill or emotional process. For example:

Activity Focus
Mind Reading Curiosity and understanding each other’s inner world
Mood Barometer Naming and tracking feelings
Press Conference Respectful listening to personal stories
Survival Suitcase Identifying strengths and coping strategies
Tree of Life Exploring family strengths, identity, and resilience

📚 How are activities used?

LOHA activities can be:

  • Used individually (choose one based on what your family needs today)

  • Grouped into themes under the TRUCE framework

  • Included in structured LOHA Programmes for specific challenges

Whether you want to strengthen daily connection, talk through grief, manage anxiety, or deal with school stress, there’s a LOHA activity to support it.
