Brentwood names new executive director

Brentwood Recovery Home in Windsor has selected its new executive director.

The addiction treatment centre announced Friday that Dr. Sonja Grbevski will step into the role.

She will succeed Elizabeth Dulmage, who is retiring next month.

"I wish to extend my sincerest thanks to the Board of Directors and the Hiring Committee for entrusting me for this leadership role," said Grbevski. "I am excited to work with our talented team, alumni, and community partners in an effort to advance our mission and vision and make a meaningful difference in the lives of the people we serve."

Grbevski has worked in leadership roles for 25 years, namely in addiction and mental health. She has a diploma from St. Clair College in Chemical and Substance Abuse Counselling, and a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Windsor.

She then moved on to Wayne State University in Detroit, earning a master's degree in Counselling with a focus on Rehabilitation, Mental Health, and Addictions; and a PhD in Counsellor Education.

The search for Dulmage's successor was overseen by the recruitment firm of Logic Executive Search and Workplace Solutions.

Grbevski's first day is May 20.
