This presentation with two voices, one coming from France and the other from Québec, aims to create a dialogic space allowing to think about ethics in action to counter mistreatment towards older adults.

This awareness campaign began in mid-February 2022 and places a situation of psychological mistreatment in the context of an intra-family relationship.

During the International Day of Older Persons, which is held every year on October 1, many activities are organised throughout the world to promote and enhance the role of older adults in contemporary society.

Each year, the Research Chair on Mistreatment of Older Adults participates in awareness-raising activities honoring World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (June 15).

Each year, the Research Chair on Mistreatment of Older Adults participates in awareness-raising activities surrounding World Elder Abuse Awareness Day held on June 15. Here is a partial list of our commitments in 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.

One of the objectives of the project entitled La maltraitance envers les aînés proches aidants et les proches aidants d’aînés : Reconnaître, sensibiliser et prévenir (Mistreatment of Older Adults as Caregivers and Caregivers of Older Adults: Recognise, raise awareness and prevent) led by Sophie Éthier (ULaval), with Marie Beaulieu as co-researcher, is to develop a poster and activities guide addressed to caregivers that can be used in interventions.

The Global Report on Ageing contains the latest findings on this subject, which, unfortunately, has grown in importance since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Research Chair invites older adults, their relatives and all other person in contact with them to be twice as vigilant towards financial fraud committed by phone or on the internet.

June 15 of every year is a unique occasion to promote the continued development of a society without violence towards nor neglect of older adults. This day, recognized by the United Nations, is an opportunity to step back and underline the initiatives undertaken in the fight against mistreatment and showcase actions to promote ‘good treatment’ on local, national, and international levels.
