My mission is to empower caregivers with the tools and strategies needed to block burnout, reduce stress, and learn to laugh again. As a 3x caregiver for my dad with Parkinson's, My mother-in-law who had Alzheimer's, and currently, my mom, who has vascular dementia, I understand the caregiver journey better than most. I have the training to understand the changes taking place in the brain, plus the in-the-trenches knowledge to have created many possible solutions. I say "possible" because there are no guarantees with dementia. It might work today and not tomorrow or this morning but not tonight. Caregivers know a particular type of multi-tasking, creativity, improv, and patience, as well as what total exhaustion feels like. I'm here to help you avoid the latter.
I created The Purple Vine LLC after getting my certifications as a Caregiving Consultant & Advocate. We empower caregivers, both private and professional, to reduce their stress, Block Burnout, and learn to Laugh again. Our website, https://www.thepurplevine.com has blog articles, a newsletter, and FREE resources for caregivers. I am Lead Author on a collaboration book published by Brave Healer Productions, called The Caregiver's Advocate, A Complete Guide to Support & Resources. It was just released on July 2, 2024, yet it has already become an International Bestseller in the U.S., U.K., Israel, and Canada! Debbie will sign a copy and mail to you from her website. https://thepurplevine.thrivecart.com/the-caregivers-advocate/ Debbie has created 9 other books, all on Amazon and most are on her website. She believes there is always joy to be found, sometimes we just have to look harder to find it.
