Core Award for Relationships –Steve and Debbie Callison

Steve and Debbie Callison, home parents, received the Core Values Award for Relationships.  The Callisons work diligently to build a trusting relationship with youth by making each one feel loved, special, and accepted for who they are. The Callisons are very nurturing and spend a great deal of time just “hanging out” with the girls in their home unit. This may include watching movies, playing games, crafts, painting nails or just laughing and joking around. Mrs. Callison goes to each girls' room nightly before bed to offer goodnight hugs. They are available even in the late night hours if a girl is struggling. Building healthy relationships is what the Callisons are all about.
