The Theory of Change Project is guided by the principle that to make real and lasting change in lawyer wellbeing, the focus for action needs to move beyond individual resilience, to the system-wide drivers that are having negative impacts.  

We are partnering with the Victorian legal sector to co-design a system level Theory of Change for lawyer wellbeing. Through this project, we will gain a better understanding of what drives poor lawyer wellbeing, the roots of these drivers, the connections between them, and the scale of their impact. With this evidence base, a shared map will be established to highlight where, how and why change needs to happen within the system to improve lawyer wellbeing.

Following the System Effects Survey and legal sector workshops, First Person Consulting has compiled a draft Theory of Change and has sought initial review and feedback from individuals signed up via the EOI process. We are now inviting the legal sector to review the final draft and provide feedback via the Sector Survey.
