Common questions
Is this membership 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 membership 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 membership 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 membership 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 14 days of payment, for a full refund.
What device do I need to access Talking Ageing?
Any device. I personally find the larger the screen the better, but you can use any mobile device, tablet or computer.
Additionally, I recommend that you print off the PDF resources.
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 Q&A sessions. You can also connect with me, my team and other families through our private, member-only community; your extended village.
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.
🔒 I have helped 1,000+ families. Cancel anytime.
With Talking Ageing, you're never alone.
My promise to you is that together, we'll reduce your stress and overwhelm, answer your questions, help solve your problems, and give you the simple, practical strategies and resources you need, to make this journey that bit easier.
I'll help you to show up as the caregiver and person you want to be, so that you can stay connected to your Mum or Dad, spark moments of meaning and joy during this often difficult time, and ultimately, offer them the very best care.
