Legacy

In 1981, Professor Audier founded the Institute for Social Gerontology (Institut de Gérontologie Sociale), promoting healthy aging for seniors, addressing to the inhabitants of the city of Marseille, the department of Bouches du Rhone and the PACA region. Solidarity and collective responsibility are required. The approach goes beyond detection and management of health problems,but attempts to energize the elderly, to fight against isolation and loneliness, against the limitations to autonomy and the entry into addiction, or feelings of worthlessness and social rejection associated with the accumulation of poverty and age.[3]
