WORKING TOGETHER IN TIMES OF CHANGE

“When I started at Lutherwood as Child and Youth Counsellor five years ago, I became
aware that my role was one that would impact people’s lives. Since then, I have transferred
into our Employment Services division as an Employment Consultant. In both roles, I have
enjoyed supporting members of our community. I am inspired by people’s stories and
touched by our clients’ strength and resilience. I am both grateful and proud to be part of
an organization that passionately focuses on caring for people and strengthening lives.”

“I believe in our work of strengthening people’s lives and I believe that working at
Lutherwood has helped me strengthen my own life. Working at Lutherwood has really
opened my eyes to the kind and caring people who are truly dedicated to their job. It
comes as no surprise that this reaches all across the organization. I have the utmost
respect for my fellow co-workers for all the care and dedication that they place not only on
external clients but also on each other within the agency. I truly consider myself lucky and
grateful to be a part of Lutherwood.”

“As a Community Mental Health Coordinator I take great pleasure in supporting families as
they make positive change in their lives. To witness youth and their families meet their goals
and move to more positive places in communication and functioning is an inspiration. I feel
very fortunate to work for an agency that appreciates its employees and recognizes the
value of a supportive workplace culture to the delivery of top-quality service to families and
our community.”
