Past Events
The Big Bang
On the 21st of May, FLAV proudly launched its inaugural event, The Big Bang, at the Hellenic Museum.
Designed as a structured networking experience, the event featured an insightful presentation by Michael Shiffner from Collective Intelligence.
The Big Bang was an overwhelming success, drawing a sold-out crowd of 120 professionals, all deeply engaged in the field of Family Law. The positive feedback we received, both during the event and afterward, highlighted the value and impact of the experience we provided.
Attendees appreciated the opportunity to connect with their peers in a meaningful way, further strengthening the Family Law community in Victoria.
Are We Okay?
Following the success of our inaugural event, FLAV is excited to present our second event – Are We Okay? which will adopt a fresh and engaging format.
Moving away from traditional presentations, this event will feature an interactive interview with Dr Carly Schrever, being interviewed by Dr Kayleigh Young, with a focus on wellbeing and wellness in the legal profession to arm us as Family Lawyers with tools to weather what we know is at times a difficult profession.
Dr Schrever is a director of Human Ethos, a psychological consultancy directed to the wellbeing of judges and lawyers.
Carly has worked in and around the legal profession and the courts for 20 years, focusing specifically on judicial and lawyer wellbeing since 2014. As part of her combined Master of Psychology (Clinical) / PhD at the University of Melbourne, Carly conducted Australia’s first empirical and psychologically grounded research into the sources and nature of work-related stress among the Australian judiciary. She has published the research in peer-reviewed journals and text-books and presented the findings to judicial audiences around the globe.
Dr Kayleigh Young is a clinical psychologist and she is a skilled trainer and facilitator passionate about workplace wellbeing. Kayleigh consults with organisations to assist them to build internal capacity through the identification and development of wellbeing initiatives and programmes.
