Our team of more than 3,000 employees and professional contractors are passionate about the work we do in providing a safe and supportive place for clients. Their deep sense of satisfaction comes from the knowledge that they use their skills, knowledge and experience in meaningful service. They also develop a new perspective and attitude to people facing physical and emotional challenges, have support and education, develop networks, have fun and share experiences.

"The Community Peer Worker Program was quite a life changing experience for me. Its wonder for me lies in the focus it gives to the "lived experience" as being of real value to the many layers that make LWB what it is. It was an amazing opportunity to learn, to share and to grow. Thanks LWB!"
