Gem of the Week is Deborah Pipkin! She is a children's case manager - let's get to know more about her!

💎What is your favorite part about working at SCMHCC?
I love making connections with the kiddos and having that “ah-ha” moment of finding something that really works and makes you feel like you understand them just a little bit more. I love that what each of us do really does make a difference in a child’s life and it’s wonderful to get to be a part of it.

💎What would you most like to tell yourself at age 13?
Life doesn’t happen all at once. You have time to find your place and find what makes you happy, and your family is going to be there for you every step of the way.

💎What do you like to do on your days off?
On my days off I love to spend time with my family whether at home crocheting or out going to Ren Fairs or other "nerdy" events. I also love to unwind while playing PC games or D&D.

💎Do you have a favorite quote?
Be the reason someone smiles. Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in goodness in people" Roy T. Bennett
