"That means Lives Lived Well can engage in each of those communities and work their intense program with the clients we have, and for us it's a mutual respect and understanding and moving forward in a different way," Mr Naden said.
Lives Lived Well CEO Mitchell Giles said the goal for the partnership was to provide better, more culturally-appropriate support to Aboriginal people across Western NSW.
