We are changing the world, one family at a time.
At LOHA, we believe strong family relationships are the foundation of young people’s emotional wellbeing and mental health. Our vision is simple but powerful: to help families thrive by strengthening the bonds that support happiness, resilience, and long-term wellbeing.
Positive, supportive family connections don’t just benefit young people—they ripple outward, enriching communities, workplaces, and society as a whole.
Founded two years ago by Professor Alison Metcalfe, a leader in family health communication with over 30 years’ experience, LOHA brings together a multidisciplinary team of digital innovators, psychotherapists, and business leaders. LOHA was co-designed with families and refined through user testing during pilot phases. Our team collaborates closely with families to develop evidence-based, culturally sensitive programmes that empower parents, carers, and young people to connect, communicate, and grow together.
People often ask us: what does ‘LOHA’ mean? At first, it just felt like a warm welcome—like saying “hello.” But a teenager in one of our sessions suggested it should stand for Love Over Harm Always. That stuck with us, because it speaks directly to what we’re about.
.Today, LOHA is used by families, charities, schools, and businesses that share our commitment to emotional wellbeing and stronger family connections. We look forward to working with you.
