Roy & Allison Mayberry, Caring Connections Support Group Leaders

Allison & Roy have been married for 13 years and have 4 children but have known one another since elementary school. Roy currently works as a Project Manager and Allison as a Director of Marketing. They enjoy spending time at the beach, watching movies and spending time with family. Unfortunately, they have experienced the many issues families of incarcerated individuals face.
​
After spending just over 4 years incarcerated in the DOC, Roy is a returning citizen looking to use the knowledge and experiences learned during his time to help those families that may have questions about what their loved ones experience each day within the DOC. He also provides us a male counterpart for those fathers, sons and brothers that may need someone to talk with and understand both his time while incarcerated and his time as a returning citizen.
​
Allison found FailSafe-ERA during Roy’s period of incarceration and became a part of the Caring Connections Support Group. Allison knows firsthand how important and vital FailSafe is to the family being able to survive the impact of an incarcerated loved one. Allison understands what it is like to raise children while the spouse is incarcerated. Allison hopes to provide a welcoming and safe place for those mothers, daughters and sisters who are looking for an outlet to discuss their daily struggles and share their triumphs.​
Together they are looking to share their experiences and help others navigate the difficult road faced by so many families today. They both continue to work through the transition of having a spouse as a returning citizen and look to share their triumphs and failures to help those families in need.
​
We are honored to be leading the Caring Connections Support Group to offer an outlet for those looking to share and learn as they navigate what lies ahead for each family. They look to include various events for families and assist in the FailSafe mission to provide transformative services to families and individuals impacted by incarceration through our right road reentry, preventing generations of incarceration, and caring connections programs.
