The research Chair had the great pleasure of welcoming representatives of the Walloon agency to fight elder abuse, Respect Seniors of Belgium, from the 26th to 30th of November, 2012. This activity is part of a collaboration project that the Seventh Joint Standing Committee Quebec/Wallonia-Brussels 2011-2013 entrusted to the research Chair on Mistreatment of Older Adults and to the Walloon Agency to fight elder abuse, better known as Respect Seniors. This project, entitled «Joint discussions around the implementation of a tool linked to the fight against elder abuse», the details of which may be consulted in the «Activities» section, has already led to the accomplishment of two Quebec missions in Belgium, whereas for the Walloons, this was a first mission in Quebec. Two members of the Chair's team returned to Wallonia in April 2013, while members of Respect Seniors have visited us once again in June 2013.
