Joanne De Rubeis RN BScN OCT

👩‍⚕️ Meet Your Instructor Hi, I’m Joanne De Rubeis, a registered nurse, educator, and caregiver advocate. For over 38 years, I’ve worked alongside PSWs, nurses, and care providers in home care, long-term care, hospitals, and community settings. I’ve also trained and mentored more than 800 caregivers through my work as a PSW instructor and Director of the Caring Support Academy. But this course is not just about credentials. It’s also personal. Like many of you, I’ve cared for loved ones while balancing family, work, and the many responsibilities life brings. I know what it feels like to give everything, to keep going while feeling drained, and to lose sight of your own wellbeing along the way. I created The Caregiver Reset to offer more than advice. This course gives you space to reflect, practical tools you can actually use, and a gentle reminder that your wellbeing matters too. You deserve care, just like the care you give to others.
