LOCH builds relationships
The LOCH model of human engagement is a solutions’-focused empowerment tool for managers, leaders and professionals with people in their spheres of responsibility.
LOCH was developed by the International Wellbeing-through-Writing Institute.
LOCH meets the challenges of our times.
It is the first capacitative model developed in the wellbeing-through-writing sector to incorporate whole-of-human experiences of living.
Insights and understanding gleaned through this model can be applied to cross-sector human endeavour and engagement.
It is a practical and proactive tool for managing stress, developing capabilities for coping, and finding meaning in challenging situations and events.
LOCH is a simple technique. It can be applied by individuals, and it can be taught to others.
LOCH builds relationships.
Why learn the LOCH model?
Leaders and managers in health, education and community services sectors are under increasing pressure to respond proactively and expeditiously to the needs of individuals in workplaces and communities.
From loneliness and isolation to organisational and national budgetary constraints, the pressures and challenges of our times are enormous.
LOCH is a tool for embodied leadership. It is a practice, it is not a theory.
Once learned, the individual is prepared with skills, tools, and techniques for ongoing self-proficiency, connection to others, and growth in leadership capabilities.
We live in challenging times. Further challenges lie ahead.
Workplaces, families, and communities need embodied leaders, equipped with a straightforward skillset they can communicate to others.
The LOCH model is an evidence-based practice for guiding clients and staff towards harmonious workplace relations and reduced stress.

How is LOCH different?

LOCH is an embodied program that balances the cognitive, emotional, social, and behavioural aspects of human living with the physicalities of living.
It is a whole-of-human model. It is experiential.
More than thinking, LOCH is doing.
LOCH is living insightful problem-solving engagement.

LOCH fosters cultures of trust, connection, respect, and engagement.
The LOCH model is a four-stage, non-linear experiential model of human engagement. It illuminates the multitudinous and contemporaneous nature of stages of human recovery and growth inherent in human engagement.
The LOCH model is salutogenic in both origin and design. Meaning, it is health/solutions’ focused rather than pathogenic, i.e., illness/problem-focused. LOCH increases comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness amidst challenging relationships and circumstances.
The LOCH model positions individuals in the room as experts in their own experience, skilfully balancing personal need/desire with orientation to others.
Growth in trust is foundational to LOCH’s success.
