Happy Boss's Day to Valerie!
Posted by:Lloyd Woodward--Saturday, October 16, 2010



It was a surprise for Supervisor Valerie Ketter to find that the parents at a fairly large PSST meeting in Mt Lebanon wished her a Happy Boss's Day. In fact, several of the parents present had direct thanks for Valerie's help, not just as their Probation Officer's Supervisor, but because of the direct work that Valerie has done with them to help with their teenager.

That's one of the things about Valerie: she does not just supervise from the ivory tower (or from the office) but she comes out and sets an example for her Probation Officers by also rolling up her sleeves and doing some direct work.

Considering the loyalty and appreciation felt at the Parents Meeting towards Supervisor Ketter probably none would have disagreed with the following quote:

"One measure of leadership is the caliber of people who choose to follow you." ~Dennis A. Peer

No doubt there was a pretty high level of caliber eating this cake.

PSST wishes Supervisor Valerie Ketter all the best and offers heartfelt thanks for all that she has done over the years to make PSST a successful parent community. Especially PSST thanks Valerie for all the hard work she has done on behalf of PSST parents who are trying desperately to save their teenager's lives. Without her support and hard work there would be no PSST.

Dear Val,

Thank you for making such a big difference in our family in a short period of time. The healing of a family due to a child's addiction is a long and difficult process but the first step is empowering the parents. YOU and your team have showed so many PSST parents the way. Your leadership is greatly appreciated.

Sincere Thanks,
Ray and Steph
