DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
"I don't know if this is normal."
"I don't know what to do."
If you've ever been awake at 3am wondering whether you're handling this right, whether it's going to get worse, or whether you can keep doing this — you're exactly who I built this for.
Whether you're just starting to worry, navigating a new diagnosis, exhausted from years of caring, or facing difficult behaviours — there's a stage in the Playbook built specifically for you.
There's so much information out there.
Almost none of it tells you what to actually do.
IMAGINE THIS...
When families have a clear plan,
everything feels less overwhelming
Where families often start:
-
Googling at midnight and feeling worse
-
Walking on eggshells around Mum or Dad
-
Snapping, and then hating yourself for it
-
Family conversations keep ending in conflict
-
Feeling alone, scared and unprepared
The families I help:
✔︎ Understand what's happening and why
✔︎ Know exactly what to do next
✔︎ Know how to respond in the hardest moments
✔︎ Your family gets on the same page
✔︎ Stop feeling so alone in this
✔︎ Have more moments of joy
All of this is possible for your family too

MEET YOUR GUIDE
Hi, I'm Melissa Levi
I've been on both sides of this table.
I'm a Clinical Psychologist. But before that, I was a granddaughter watching my grandfather change, and my family not knowing what to do, where to turn, or how to talk to each other without it turning into an argument.
That experience never left me. It's why I've spent almost two decades specialising in dementia and ageing, working with families in my private practice, and consulting with residential aged care homes.
I have helped more than 1,000 families navigate ageing, dementia and caregiving with more confidence, clarity and less fear.
What I hear, again and again: families feel completely alone in this. They can't get timely help. They're searching at midnight and finding generic information that doesn't speak to their situation. They need a real person, someone who genuinely understands, to say "here's what to do next."
That's why I built the Dementia Playbook. So that no family has to do this alone.

FAMILIES' FAVOURITE PART OF THE PROGRAM
The Q&A's are my favourite part too
I built this program to connect with families around the world. To help make this heartbreaking journey easier.
Every week, you can bring me your real situation. Your specific question. The moment that happened this week that you don't know how to handle.
It's also where you'll realise you're not navigating this alone. Every week, families hear someone else describe exactly what they've been going through — and something shifts.
Many families say this becomes the most valuable part of the program
"The weekly Q&As have been a lifeline. Hearing Melissa answer questions, and realising other families are facing the same things, makes me feel less alone and more capable of handling what’s ahead. Thank you thank you!"

Read what families are saying...
“When we first noticed changes in Dad, we didn’t know where to start. Melissa’s videos and checklists helped us make sense of what was happening and talk as a family without it turning into an argument. We finally felt like we had a plan and hope.”
Hayley C, Sydney

“Trying to get Dad into care nearly broke me. Every phone call felt like hitting a wall, and I didn’t even know what questions to ask. After going through Melissa’s program, I finally understood how the system works and how to advocate for Dad. It’s still emotional, but it’s not the constant panic it used to be.”
Libby W, Melbourne

“When Mom’s dementia got harder.. the wandering, the aggression, our family was falling apart. Everyone had a different idea of what to do. Melissa helped us see the bigger picture and gave us tools we could all agree on. We stopped spinning in panic and started working together with empathy instead of fear.”
Sam T, New York

Feedback from families refer to experiences with my dementia and ageing programs and Q&A sessions, not to psychological or clinical services.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE IN THIS
You don't need to have these thoughts at 3am
Whatever you're carrying tonight — there's an answer, and someone to walk it with you.
"Am I doing the right thing for Mum?"
Constant second-guessing about decisions, care choices, and whether you're helping or making things worse
"How much worse is this going to get?"
Anxiety about the future, decline, and what’s coming next
"Why won’t she just let me help her?"
Frustration when Mum refuses help, denies problems, or becomes suspicious or angry
"I can’t do this forever, but I feel so guilty for even thinking that"
Torn between love, duty, and exhaustion
COMMON QUESTIONS
You probably want to know...
Is this for me/my family?
If you're supporting a parent or loved one with dementia and you want to feel less overwhelmed and more prepared — yes, this is for you
Don't we need to see you in person?
In-person support is wonderful when you can get it — but professional dementia support often has a 6+ month waitlist. The Playbook gives you expert strategies the moment you need them, plus live weekly Q&As where I answer your family's specific questions — all for less than the cost of one appointment.
Is this just for Australians?
Not at all — dementia is a universal experience. Families worldwide share the same fears and challenges. Just read 'Mum' as 'Mom' and 'Ageing' as 'Aging'.
What access will I have to Melissa?
Pre-recorded workshops, live webinars, and weekly Q&A sessions — plus a private member community to connect with me, my team, and other families. Your membership covers your whole household.
What if this isn't right for me?
If you're not satisfied within 7 days, contact me for a full refund. No questions asked. And you can cancel anytime.
