My Weekly Q&As
The questions families ask about dementia — answered every week
This is what I give you, every single week.
Stop feeling so alone
You hear other families asking the exact same questions you’ve been carrying quietly. That sense of “it’s not just me” is often the first real exhale.
Trusted, expert answers
No Google, forums, or well-meaning friends, you get clear, evidence-based guidance from someone who understands dementia deeply.
Less Googling & spiralling
No more late-night searching that leaves you more anxious than when you started.
You get straight answers that actually apply to real life.
Know what to do next
What to say, how to respond, and what to try next when things feel hard, confusing, or emotionally loaded.
More confidence
Whether it’s care, safety, conversations, or next steps —
you start to feel clearer, steadier, and less second-guessing.
Have someone to trust
Over the past decade I've helped more than 1,000 families navigate this. Now I'm in your corner, every single week.

Simple. Consistent. Every single week.
Wednesday
Submit your question
The behaviour that threw you, the conversation you're dreading, the thing you can't stop thinking about.
Friday
Watch my Q&A
I go through the week's questions on video — the ones that keep coming up, the ones that matter most.
The Weekend
Go into the weekend feeling equipped
Less fear. More clarity. A real sense of what to do next — instead of just surviving until Monday.
I read every question that comes in. I can't always get to each one every week — but here's what years of doing this have taught me: while every family's dementia story is unique, the fears and questions we carry are more universal than you'd think. Chances are, you'll hear your question in someone else's.
Hi, I'm Melissa Levi
Clinical Psychologist | Ageing & Dementia Specialist
Most families navigating dementia feel completely alone — not because there's no information out there, but because none of it tells you what to actually do.
That's the gap I've spent my career trying to close.
I spent a decade working inside St Vincent's Hospital's Older Persons Mental Health team — sitting with families at the hardest moments of their lives, watching them arrive scared, and helping them leave with a plan. I saw what made the difference between families who coped and families who crumbled. It wasn't love. They all had that. It was knowledge, and someone to guide them through it.
Since then I've run a private practice helping families navigate every stage of the dementia journey, advised and educated some of Australia's leading residential aged care providers, and written We Need to Talk About Ageing, published by Hachette in 2023.
The Dementia Playbook is filled with the same strategies, scripts, and practical advice I offer families face-to-face.
You don't need to figure this out alone. I've been here before. Let me show you the way through.

"Mom got to the point where my kids were frightened of her. She was aggressive, unpredictable — nothing like the woman who raised me. I didn't know how to help her or explain it to my children. This gave me the words, the strategies, and honestly — my mom back, in the ways that still matter."
Jennifer M, Chicago
"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!"
Anne S, Darlinghurst
“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.

Common questions
Is this for me/my family?
If you're supporting a parent or loved one with dementia and want to feel less overwhelmed and more prepared — yes, this is for you.
Don't we need to see you in person?
No — and here's why this works better. Professional dementia support often has 6+ month waitlists. My Dementia Playbook gives you expert strategies 24/7, plus live weekly Q&A where I answer your family's specific questions — all for less than the cost of one appointment.
Is this just for Australians?
No, not at all — dementia is a universal experience.
Families worldwide share the same fears and challenges. Just note I use 'Mum' instead of 'Mom' and 'Ageing' instead of 'Aging'.
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.
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 (coming soon).
