On October 28, 2020, the Institut de la statistique du Québec made public a research report entitled l’Enquête sur la maltraitance envers les personnes aînées vivant à domicile (2017-2020) (Survey on the Mistreatment of Older Québec Adults Living at Home, 2017-2020). Over the last three years, Chairholder Marie Beaulieu has contributed to the intersectorial work leading to this first statistical portrait of the mistreatment of older Québec adults living at home.

As Chairholder, Marie Beaulieu joins an intersectoral working group coordinated by the Secrétariat aux Aînés of the Government of Québec.

Entitled: COVID-19 and Residential Care Facilities: Issues and Concerns Identified by the International Network Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA), this article focuses on the variability of protective sanitary, political and social measures implemented worldwide, while taking into consideration their direct and indirect implication in the emerging issue of mistreatment and human rights violations of older persons in the COVID-19 context.

On October 14, at the SGGE’s first on-line congress, Marie Beaulieu will provide its members with information on the practices of prevention and support for older persons at risk of mistreatment in residential settings during the COVID-19 pandemic.
