Provincial Multisectoral Consultation Team to Counter the Mistreatment of Older Adults
The management of mistreatment situations requires the combination of medical/functional, psychosocial, financial and legal expertise. The CIUSSS West-Central’s provincial Multisectoral Consultation Team was created in 1992. This service was developed to support the intervention team dedicated to situations of mistreatment and to complement the training offered to workers in the health and social services network, who were confronted with complex situations or issues of older adult mistreatment, requiring the involvement of several areas of expertise and intervention sectors. Since 2019, the Team refocused its service offering on complex cases from the RSSS, the community network, the financial sector and the legal sector. It works in complementarity with the processus d’intervention concertés (PIC).
