Reality Ministries

Really Cafe: Available spots in Durham and Chapel Hill. Check out our website to RSVP to our next hosting day!

Retreat Snapshots: I saw Dani’s lips moving, but I couldn’t hear her. I turned the engine to the boat off and called out to see what she was saying. “Oh, nothing. I’m just singing to the cat fishies... ‘I’m gonna get ya!’”

I’m Alisa (pictured in denim/orange) Coordinator of Family Support.

That looks like me coordinating intakes for new Reality participants and managing the waitlist of people hoping to join us. It’s also providing support for parents and caregivers through weekly support group coffee chats, monthly resource meetings and a newsletter. I also talk with many parents on the phone when they are wanting information about a particular resource or I’m meeting at someones home or in my office for a one on one or sending a list of providers or summer camps.

Underlying all of this is the hope that parents and caregivers recognize that they are invited to be part of this community, that they belong and can find support here.
