The GIFT in residence program (Goodwill against Intolerance For Togetherness) is intended for managers and staff members of private seniors residences (PSR) and aims to provide tools and activities to promote goodwill in PSRs and to fight against intolerance between residents.

"I am truly honored to continue the fight to counter mistreatment as Chairholder of the Research Chair on Mistreatment of Older Adults. For more than a decade, I witnessed and contributed to the research advancements in this field. I sincerely thank the government of Quebec for emphasizing once again the importance of investing in the search for solutions based on conclusive data.

On October 31, 2022, the Chair will have completed 12 years of work (2 mandates of 5 years, interspersed by an extension of 2 years). It is with great emotion and a sense of accomplishment that Marie Beaulieu announces her departure as Chairholder on November 1st, 2022. Two months later, being on January 1st, 2023, she will transition to retirement, a moment that her European colleagues poetically call "free time". This will be a pivotal point after more than 35 years of involvement in countering mistreatment, with more than 30 years as a university professor.

Three students finished this summer and at the beginning of autumn 2022 their academic work within the Chair.
