A project run through Sherbrooke’s Research Centre on Aging under the leadership of Professor Marie Beaulieu and the Sherbrooke-based elder abuse victim support organization DIRA-Estrie has published a new practical guide to raising awareness about and putting a stop to elder abuse. “Close to 450 seniors participated in helping to identify the anticipated obstacles and supports to asking for help in situations of mistreatment and abuse,” said Beaulieu, who holds the University of Sherbroooke’s Chair on the mistreatment of older adults. “The DAMIA guide therefore responds to the needs identified by the seniors by applying directly what they said.” See full story in the Friday, Nov. 30 edition of The Record.
