Testimonials "Ken Parrett facilitated our recent Butler/Ripley System of Care Team (SOC) mapping exercise, which helped us clearly define and expand our goals. System of Care represents a philosophy about the way in which services should be delivered to children with emotional disturbances and their families. During the exercise Ken was able to engage the team members in a thought process specifically relevant to their role as a SOC partner. His exceptional communication skills promoted the level of responsiveness that kept everyone involved during the 2 day exercise. The end result was a working plan unanimously agreed upon by the team. The SOC team appreciated Ken's professionalism and enchanting sense of humor."
