✔️ Conversation scripts, to be able to talk to Mum about your concerns
✔️ Strategies to get Mum to see the doctor (especially if she’s reluctant…)
✔️ Tips for finding the right doctor & how to get the best referral, to minimise wait time
Dad’s just been told he has dementia... Now what?

"But don't we need to see you 1-on-1?"
This is the most common question I get asked. The answer is no.
It's difficult finding affordable and available professional help (I often have 6+ months waiting lists)

Common questions
Is this for me?
Are you navigating the ageing, dementia or caregiving journey with Mum, Dad or an ageing loved one? And do you want to understand more, make the journey a bit easier, feel less alone, and provide the best possible care?
If yes - this is absolutely for you!
Is this just for Australians?
No. Ageing, dementia & caregiving is a universal experience.
We all share the same questions, fears and challenges.
The knowledge, strategies and resources in this program have been used by families around the world. Just note that being Australian, I use 'Mum' instead of 'Mom', 'Ageing' instead of 'Aging'.
What if this isn't right for me?
I'm confident that I can help you and your family. However, if Talking Ageing isn't the right solution for you, please contact us within 7 days of payment, for a full refund.
What access will I have to Melissa?
If you’re looking for me, this is where you’ll find me: Pre-recorded workshops, live webinars and weekly Q&A sessions. You can also connect with me, my team and other families through our private, member-only community; your extended village (coming soon).
Note: As stated in our Terms of Use, Talking Ageing Pty Ltd is not engaged in rendering therapy services by providing this site, and your use of the site does not create any therapist-patient or other treatment relationship between you and Talking Ageing or Melissa Levi or any of its representatives.
