In Québec, one of Canada’s 10 provinces, 26% of the population will be over 65 in 2031. No country can escape the new challenges and the issues resulting from population aging in different areas including that of social work with older adults and their families. This article has two objectives: a) to describe gerontological social work in non-profit organizations (NPOs) as well as in the public sector (Public Health and Social Services, PHSS); b) raise the issues and the challenges of this practice which is in constant evolution. The article first situates the context of social work in Québec, then describes gerontological social work and the issues and challenges faced in working with older adults and their families.
