The Research Chair will host a webinar on June 14, 2021, in honour of the World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (May 2021)

Each year, the Research Chair on Mistreatment of Older Adults organises awareness-raising activities to participate in this worldwide event held on June 15.

In collaboration with the government’s Regional Coordinator in the fight against mistreatment in the Montréal and Montérégie regions, a webinar, open to the public, will be held on June 14, 2021.  Its principal theme is the mistreatment of older adults in the context of the pandemic.
