Jordie Allen-Newman Glenda was my supervisor when I worked at Youth Outreach — she hired me for my first full time position as a counsellor — she inspired me in my work with youth and families and was hands down the best supervisor I have had because she helped me to believe in myself — she was a brilliant lady Iand I am dearly saddended to hear the news of her death! My heart goes out to Lauren, Blair and other family members.
