FRSA National Conference 2024

FRSA National Conference 2024

Family & Relationship Services

VALUED NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE

The FRSA National Conference is heralded as a highlight event for the Family and Relationship Services network and is one of the largest annual gatherings of practitioners, academics and policy makers working to support children, families and communities. This ‘not to be missed’ event will feature a number of highly acclaimed keynote presenters, as well as Federal Ministers and sector leaders with a focus on delivering the most effective services to children, families and young people.

As social service organisations we are always at the cutting edge of emerging trends and changes in society – for the FRS sector, especially for vulnerable children, families and communities.

The theme for the FRSA National Conference 2024 – Family & Relationship Services – Valued now and into the future and will be held at the Pullman Melbourne on the Park on 13-16 May 2024.

Each and every day, family and relationship services help facilitate changes in the lives of the children, adults, families and communities they work with. These might be barely perceptible micro-changes. They might be lightbulb moments. They might be multiplier or cascading effects that are difficult to attribute to any one intervention or service. Change, as the saying goes, is the only constant and reflecting on the role our sector plays in facilitating positive change is an important step in understanding where concepts, practices and interventions can be maximised and replicated and where we might explore new possibilities, new ways of thinking and of doing to make the greatest impact.

FRSA and the sector has been investing time and energy in successfully painting a picture of the ‘value’ of our services. Whilst the value of services is presented as a monetary commodity in the cost benefit analysis work, we know that the impacts and benefits underpinning this work brings about real, tangible benefits and changes to people’s lives.

The FRSA National Conference 2024 provides a platform to showcase and learn from on the ground practice and research. It will provide an opportunity to consolidate an understanding of our sector’s ‘value add’ and identify the strengths we can build on and the opportunities we can harness. We welcome you to this gathering – a space to reflect, to share, to inspire and to engage.

This year we will come together to share and explore our sector’s value and our sector’s potential.

We are a rich and diverse society, and we encourage presentations that show our sector’s work with different cohorts and communities – First Nations peoples, culturally and linguistically diverse peoples, people with disability and LGBTQI+ people.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS - CLOSED

Family & Relationship Services Australia (FRSA) invites you to submit an abstract to present at the FRSA National Conference 2024.

We welcome abstracts that speak to the conference theme – Family & Relationship Services – Valued now and into the future.

In preparing and making your submission, you are asked to select and position your abstract within one of the six following streams:

  1. The first 1000 days
    (e.g. the preconception period (preconception to birth), the birth of a child, impact on family relationships and transitions into parenting).
  2. Schooling years
    (e.g. school readiness, transitions into and across primary and secondary schools/school years, young people with significant caring responsibilities and transitioning out of school into training, tertiary education or employment).
  3. Children at the Centre
    (e.g. child-focused and child-inclusive practice, supporting children’s participation in policy development, children’s participation in service design and evaluation, child safety and wellbeing).
  4. Relationship breakdown and re-partnering
    (e.g. family/domestic violence, family legal services, family dispute resolution, men’s behavioural change programs, parenting after separation, sole-parenting and sustaining the best interests and wellbeing of children).
  5. Family Domestic Violence
    (e.g. identifying and managing family violence risk, child maltreatment, perpetrator interventions, adolescents using violence in the home, elder abuse)
  6. Across the lifecourse
    (e.g. diverse and changing family structures, developing and maintaining respectful relationships, social connection, intersectionality and inclusion)

We are a rich and diverse society, and FRSA encourages presentations that show our sector’s work with different cohorts and communities – First Nations peoples, culturally and linguistically diverse peoples, people with disability and LGBTQI+ people – and other cohorts who may face particular challenges in accessing safe and appropriate services.

To submit your Abstract, please review the Abstracts Guidelines & Assessment Criteria below which outlines all abstract information and assessment criteria and submit your Abstract via the button below.

For more information about submitting an abstract, please contact FRSA Manager of Policy and Research, Ms Robyn Clough at policy@frsa.org.au or (02) 6162 1811.

All Abstracts must be submitted online by 5.00pm AEDT, Monday 13 November 2023.

30 MINUTE PRESENTATIONS

Concurrent sessions are 30 minutes in length, including Q&A and can be interactive with the audience or with minimal interaction. Abstracts for a 30-minute presentation must be between 200 and 400 words in length.

SYMPOSIUM OPTION

Staying within the Abstract guidelines outlined above, you may team up with three to five others to submit an abstract for a symposium. A symposium comprises a series of presentations organised around a common theme to engage the audience in critical reflection on key issues and questions relevant to the topic area. The duration of a symposium is around 90 minutes to allow time for three to five presenters to share and for discussion among attendees.

We encourage symposiums in which presenters and moderators/discussants represent different perspectives, such as from policymakers, practitioners, and academics.

To submit an abstract for a symposium there is no need for each presenter to submit an abstract. Each symposium requires a primary organiser who is the chair and will serve as the single point of contact in the submission process. Submissions must detail who the primary organiser is and who the other presenters are. The primary organiser must collate and order the presenters’ ideas in a way that will best engage attendees, with the symposium abstracts being between 500 and 800 words.

PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS

(FRSA MEMBERS ONLY)

Pre-conference Workshops will be held on Monday, 13 May 2024, commencing at 10am. This years National Conference will comprise of four workshops. More details on each workshop coming soon. Please note all Pre-Conference Workshops are for FRSA Members only.

Dadirri – Ancient Aboriginal Mindfulness Traditions

The main aim of this workshop is to locate the ancient Aboriginal tradition of mindfulness within the work of trauma recovery in Australia and elsewhere.

The workshop objectives is to introduce participants to and build capacity towards using mindfulness in self-care and in the development of communities of care, and communities of practice in all trauma recovery work.

On completion of this workshop participants should be able to:

  1. Learn the fundamentals of the practice of Dadirri as an Ancient Mindfulness tradition essential in all trauma recovery – community healing work.
  2. Recognize the importance of cultural fitness in all community work.
  3. Use the cultural tradition of mindfulness in self-care and care practice while undertaking trauma recovery work.
  4. Identify issues of self-awareness and demonstrate the skills of journaling or story mapping as a conscious and cognitive record of the self-awareness, self-reflective process.
  5. Begin developing the skills and knowledge necessary to enable effective communication in trauma recovery work using symbols, art, and music in storytelling and story-mapping.
  6. Define and support the development of communities of care.
  7. Begin developing the skills and knowledge required to implement community development processes for building community-healing networks.

LGBTIQA+ Family Practice

Presenters: Karen Field, CEO, Drummond Street Services, Elliott McMahon, Queerspace Program Manager, Mengrui Li, Queerspace Family Violence Manager and Nicole Dowling, Family Practice Manager Queerspace

The workshop will provide participants with a deep understanding of the multiple risk and protective factors impacting on the health and wellbeing of LGBTIQA+ families, current research and evidence-based practice, designing and delivering effective whole of family approaches and the importance of an inclusive whole of service response. The facilitators will also present our recent research that suggests that when individuals face discrimination related solely to their LGBT identity without additional forms of discrimination, their well-being remained relatively unaffected. This was not the case for individuals who experienced discrimination across a greater number of settings. This indicates the need to apply an intersectional lens for targeted interventions to mitigate the negative effects of discrimination on well-being. The pervasive nature of intersectional discrimination has a profound impact on LGBTIQA+ individuals’ mental health, social connectedness, and financial wellbeing.

The workshop will cover the following:

  • Organisational readiness and implementation support: informed by implementation science and organisational readiness literature, and our own evaluative management frameworks.
  • Centring of lived experience perspectives: Drummond Street’s team of highly experienced LGBTIQA+ trainers and consultants, who offer their personal and professional experience in service provision and training.
  • Whole of Service response: to create not only inclusive processes but also an inclusive family service environment, collective understandings, attitudes, and specialist practice wisdom and models.
  • Intersectional person-centred approach: Recognition that people may experience multiple intersecting forms of discrimination, oppression and disadvantage, and that while their gender or sexual orientation are significant, there are other diverse and important parts of a person’s identity to be acknowledged, seen, heard and understood to ensure a positive, safe and effective support service.
  • Whole-of-family approaches: Our approach to practice recognises a diverse and inclusive definition of families, and uses the term broadly, as determined by the person themselves. This may include loved ones that are biologically related, ‘family of choice’, parents or other caregivers, partners, children, grandparents and/or other significant relationships in the person’s life. Social networks and friends are also critically important, and are often defined as ‘family’, so it is important that close social relationships are included in considerations when adopting a ‘whole-of-family’ and ‘family as a system’ approaches.

Using evidence to paint a picture: Finding opportunities for learning, growth and sharing the success of child and family services

Presenters: Researchers from the Child and Family Evidence team, Australian Institute of Family Studies

This full day workshop will focus on building skills that will help services to identify, assess, interrogate and draw meaning from ‘evidence’ as it relates to the delivery of services and programs. While there are many forms of evidence, in this workshop we will focus on the skills needed to effectively harness external research evidence that is relevant to family and relationship services as well as the data and information that organisations collect about their own programs and services.

In this workshop, participants will learn how to:

  • Harness the power of the established body of research evidence, including how to find, appraise and use research evidence for program and service design or re-design.
  • Best use of the information collected in their services and programs and how to interrogate and draw meaning from that data to highlight program strengths and identify opportunities for learning, improvement and growth.
  • Integrate relevant research evidence and program/client data to paint a detailed picture of a program or service’s value and opportunities for improvement.

The workshop will be interactive and will involve practical elements and discussion.

Why should you attend?

The service delivery environment calls on services to invest time and resources to innovate, explore new ideas and demonstrate they are delivering real benefits to the children and families they serve. Drawing on both existing research evidence and current service information can create powerful opportunities to:

  • better understand and showcase a program’s strengths
  • support the design or re-design of services and programs
  • promote learning and lead to opportunities for service or program growth.

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop will be particularly useful for people who have some oversight of family and relationship services or programs. Their role may require them to create, deliver, adapt or refine programs or services. They may also need to describe the value of their program and service to seek funding and support, or they may need to assess the value of activities that they fund. For example, this workshop may be of interest to team leaders, senior practitioners, clinical supervisors and program managers in child and family services.

Who is this not for?

This workshop is not designed for those who have a lot of research and evaluation experience.
