ADAPP's Team

Inspiring People, Transforming Lives...


 ADAPP's Executive Staff

Christine Cavallucci, LCSW
Executive Director

"As a new social worker in 1986, ADAPP gave me the chance to develop my skills and knowledge
 in an environment that was both supportive and challenging. As the years passed, I was given
the opportunity to grow in my professional
 career from Intervention Counselor to Supervisor to Clinical Director and now Executive Director.
 But mostly, ADAPP has allowed me to work
with incredibly talented, caring, smart, and
creative people who have become mentors,
trusted colleagues, and friends.
It’s a place where we truly make a difference
in the lives of others every day."

"Happy golden anniversary ADAPP. I am looking forward to celebrating the next 50 years with the company. I started my journey in 2016 as one of the Clinical Supervisors and have been honored to work with a dedicated team of professionals. This 50th anniversary of ADAPP reminds me of hundreds of great memories over the years. Being in business for 50 years is a testament to the quality of services ADAPP provides to our Catholic schools, the students, their families, and the communities we serve! Congratulations to everyone who continues to work at ADAPP, and those who have contributed to the success of the ADAPP program. Happy 50th anniversary to everyone."
