Educators have many roles and responsibilities beyond instructing or training a group of people. Oftentimes, educators find themselves as a caregiver for a family member or friend. In this conversation, Elizabeth Miller provides practical strategies and tools that family caregivers can do to integrate self-care into their lives, so they avoid caregiver burnout.
Elizabeth Miller is a wife, mother, full-time employee, family caregiver, author and Certified Caregiving Consultant. She obtained a B.A. in Journalism from Penn State University and currently leads the program management office for a fortune 1000 company. She had the pleasure of being a substitute teacher for 4 years at an elementary school. Elizabeth’s personal experiences caring for aging parents with chronic and terminal illnesses as well as caring for a sibling with developmental disabilities inspired her to create Happy Healthy Caregiver in 2015. Through her speaking, consulting, writing and online community, Elizabeth helps family caregivers integrate caregiving and self-care into their daily lives. Elizabeth has been a presenter at the 2016, 2017, and 2018 National Caregiving Conferences. Her story has also been featured with Woman’s Day and the Marietta Daily Journal.
