What’s it all about? 


LWBW and CARTERS are bringing together industry professionals for an inspiring, practical exploration of wellbeing in the construction sector. Hosted by Raf from Live Well Build Well, these seminars are designed to empower you with tools and strategies to thrive, both on and off the building site. Each session will offer valuable insights into maintaining physical and mental health, with a focus on easy, actionable steps that can make a real difference in daily life.

Expect a blend of expert advice, real-world stories, and interactive discussions. Raf’s engaging style will guide conversations around the importance of starting the day with intention, learning when to pause and recharge. The seminars will also highlight the power of strong social connections and the role of community in sustaining personal and professional wellbeing.

Whether you’re a seasoned builder, a newcomer to the industry, Live Well Build Well promises practical takeaways and renewed motivation. With the CARTERS team also actively participating at each location, these seminars offer a unique chance to connect, learn, and invest in yourself and your crew.

Mark your calendar for August and September and join us on the journey to achieve mental fitness.
