Service access during the pandemic.

As a community agency delivering mental health, employment and housing services, Lutherwood acknowledges Canada’s history of systemic racism and the need for structural and institutional change.

Our 2020 Community Report: 50 Years of Resilience is now available to read online. When we chose this theme we had no idea how important being resilient and adaptable would be this year.

At Lutherwood, our top priority remains the health, safety and well-being of our clients, residents and staff. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have worked hard to prevent and minimize the spread of the virus while still assisting our clients as fully as we can.

On Friday June 26th, we lost one of the most vibrant and passionate people most of us will ever have the privilege of meeting. To meet Lynn Macaulay, was to be in the presence of positivity, joy and warmth.

CMHA-Waterloo Wellington, Camino Family and Community Services and Lutherwood are launching ShowYourSole.org with a vision to share mental health supports, build mental health awareness and raise funds for mental wellness training, treatment and community support.

This year, Steps for Kids was like no other! While COVID-19 cancelled many events this spring, it didn’t stop Steps for Kids. Thanks to you, our first (and hopefully ONLY!) Virtual Steps for Kids was a huge success!

During Children’s Mental Health Week (May 3rd to May 9th), we are all walking however we can, around the block with the dog or on a treadmill, and uploading pictures to social media using the #StepsforKidsChallenge hashtag.

Lutherwood has launched a new website portal to assist those looking for jobs and employers looking to hire during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus) is cancelling many events, it won’t cancel Steps for Kids! That is because Steps for Kids is going Virtual!
