The Secret Weapon to Becoming a Resilient Caregiver

Debbie Weiss has always had a passion for helping, teaching and caring for others. Since graduating from The George Washington University in 1985, she has done just that in various capacities, through both professional and volunteer positions. Debbie finds her current full-time job very fulfilling and plans on continuing until she retires; however, she’s recently begun to pursue a passion of hers in addition to her day job.

As a teenager Debbie had to grow up really fast and take care of her disabled father for several decades. Now she takes care of her disabled husband and oldest son which led her to giving everything that she had and feeling angry, resentful, overwhelmed and exhausted along the way.  When she turned 50, Debbie took a trip to Bermuda with her friends and for the first time felt like she could actually focus on herself. Since that time, she has slowly incorporated self-care into her daily routine and her life is transformed. Now she helps family caregivers learn to do the same.
