All our new employees and most of our current employees have gone through Fatima Silva on their journey to becoming an Ädelbrook employee as she is our Talent Acquisition Partner. Fatima exemplifies our values of compassion, commitment and trust. Her welcoming manner and desire to help gives our applicants a wonderful first impression.

Fatima has been with Ädelbrook for 5 years and has paved the way for hundreds of applicants to become employees. Our recruiting sector has seen a sizable growth over her tenure and Fatima now leads 2 additional staff members who all work tirelessly to fill vacant positions. Her ability to remember a name is remarkable as is her ability to use alternative means to reach potential applicants.

While away from work Fatima enjoys spending time with her 3 beautiful daughters. She also enjoys tennis, soccer, and traveling. Fatima has the artistic ability to plan and decorate for parties and events. We feel lucky that she has shared this talent with us.

Ann Burgoyne, is our first community volunteer to join the Youth and Community Advisory Board. This board’s purpose is to:

Provide a way for our youth and staff to come together with the community to be involved with each other through conversations, events, fundraising for those events, planning of work groups (painting, landscaping) and more.

Create independence in different environments.  Interact with other community members that our youth normally would not.

Expand access to community activities and on-grounds classes and/or demonstrations.

Ann loves listening to the young adults who join the meetings of our Advisory Board. She fit right in and was able to connect with and come up with wonderful ideas to support our children and young adults. Because of COVID-19, our meetings have been virtual or not at all. We all look forward to the time when we can come together and once again brain storm ideas to help our children and young adults. Ann has long been associated with Ädelbrook through the Bethany Covenant Church and her husband, Howard, who is on Ädelbrook’s Board of Directors.

Dr. Sabrina Demsky-Cameron, LCSW, our Executive Vice President and CCO, has been with Ädelbrook since June of 2009. She began her career here as the Program Director for one of our Therapeutic Group Homes, and quickly worked her way up through Clinical Program Director, Director of Residential Programming, Chief Operating Officer in 2016, and then in July 2019 she became the Executive Vice President.

In addition to her role at Ädelbrook, Sabrina was recently awarded her Doctor of Social Work through Southern Connecticut State University after years of research. Sabrina is also a wife and a very busy Mom to three active children. Sabrina’s compassion for those we serve is evident in all she does.
