Dans le cadre des activités soulignant la Journée internationale de lutte contre la maltraitance envers les personnes aînées, le 15 juin prochain, nous souhaitons vous faire connaître un webinaire offert aux intervenants de tous les milieux ainsi qu’aux personnes aînées anglophones.
Vous trouverez ci-dessous toute l’information détaillée en anglais.
To mark June 15, our partners across Quebec use their creativity and expertise to raise awareness about elder mistreatment. We believe it is important to promote the events they work so hard to organize each year. Here is one such event, which will be held online and will be accessible throughout Quebec.
You are invited to a webinar on “Love Scams and Their Impacts on Victims.” This webinar is offered to professionals from all sectors (health and social services, community organizations, etc.) as well as English-speaking seniors. This type of fraud is also known as a romance scam.
The webinar will be presented by Charles Viau-Quesnel, Full Professor in the Department of Psychoeducation and Social Work at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières.
📅 Date: June 9, 2026
🕛 Time: 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.

As you may already know, romance scams are on the rise in Quebec and across Canada. This type of fraud affects people of all ages and backgrounds, and unfortunately, older adults are not immune.
What should we know about this type of fraud? What strategies do scammers use? How can we protect ourselves? How can we support a loved one who may be vulnerable?
