DOVER - Lt. Governor Bethany Governor Hall-Long announced that Alexia Wolf will take over as the new lead coordinator of the Behavioral Health Consortium beginning today.

Ms. Wolf brings over 20 years of experience in community behavioral health including her most recent role as Chief of Social Determinants and Social Supports for Delaware’s Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health, a news release said. In that role, Ms. Wolf led efforts around homeless outreach, recovery services, and improving health outcomes in vulnerable communities.

Ms. Wolf previously worked in several academic, non-profit, and governmental capacities that aimed to improve behavioral health resources for those in need.

As lead coordinator of the Behavioral Health Consortium, Ms. Wolf will help guide the Behavioral Health Consortium’s multi-year strategy around prevention, treatment, access, and stigma for Delawareans struggling with addiction and mental illness.

“Delaware families are impacted every day by behavioral health and substance use disorder,” Lt. Gov. Hall-Long said.

“It’s critical that we continue working to make sure anyone who needs access to care can get it. Alexia understands that as well as anyone. She has the experience, judgment, and compassion to help lead the work of the Behavioral Health Consortium and make a difference for Delawareans in need. She is the right person at the right time to help us lead this effort.”
