Geneviève Miller is currently supporting the "policy module", which is an evaluation of the implementation of the politique pour contrer la maltraitance en établissement pour personnes aînées.. One of the objectives is to bring out recommendations and solutions to help institutional authorities and establishments in their fight against mistreatment. She is also involved in a research-action project that is being carried out in co-construction with older adults. This project aims to paint a picture of the mistreatment of older adults living in residences (RPAs) and their caregivers.
