25.01.2022 Congratulations to Gabriella Maughan and Mary Ann Wen on their new roles at the Committee for the Hunter and hyp - Hunter Young Professionals respectively. Gab has recently been selected to be in the first group to represent the Youth Committee for the Hunter region. This committee is the first step to ensuring the youth in the region can impact future initiatives. Earlier this year, Mary Ann was elected to the board of the HYP after being a member since 2018. HYP is a commun...ity of professionals from Newcastle & surrounds that get together to learn new skills, explore interesting ideas, and build networks that will go on to shape the local business landscape over the years. Amazing work to you both and all the best in your new roles! #hyp #YC4H #hunterregion #morrisseylaw #futureinitiatives #leadingwomen

25.01.2022 EXCITING NEWS for Morrissey Law this week We’re absolutely over the moon to have been recognised by Minds Count Foundation who awarded us the Best Mental Wellbeing Initiative in a Legal Workplace for our Mind Your Marbles mental health program. The health and happiness of our team is an absolute priority for all of us at Morrissey Law. We don’t want anyone losing their marbles!... Unfortunately, the legal profession has a poor record when it comes to people looking after the mental health of themselves and their peers. One of the pillars Morrissey Law is built on is bucking this trend both internally, and in the wider legal community. The Minds Count Foundation works to address this concerning aspect of the profession through education, raising awareness, and providing resources and support to initiatives throughout the legal community. We encourage all law firms to become a signatory for the foundation. To steal a line from pretty much everyone since COVID hit: We’re all in this together Look after yourselves, look after your peers, and MIND YOUR MARBLES! #NewLaw #constructionlaw #lawyers #lawyerswithheart #building #construction #law #happiness #mentalhealth #inthistogether #ruok #mindscount #mindyourmarbles

13.01.2022 There's more to say after "R U OK?" Great message to get across on this year's RUOK? Day. Asking the question is an important start, but what then? We love the industries we are involved in, but sadly the construction industry and the legal industry have some very concerning statistics around mental health. Look after yourselves and your workmates! We highly recommend checking out the huge amount of resources available from the RUOK website: www.ruok.org.au... #TheresMoreToSay #RUOK #RUOKday #mentalhealth #wellbeing #morrisseymemo #depression #building #construction #lawyers #newlaw
