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.

If the activity is open to the general public, we have added the appropriate link for you to register. Should the event be taped and made available to the general public, it will be stored for viewing in our website’s Media Library section.
