Maxine Henry, MSW, MBA

 

Maxine Henry, MSW, MBA has been committed to improving access to and decreasing disparities in behavioral health services, especially for BIPOC communities. In her current role as the Co-Director of the Addiction Technology Transfer Center Network Coordinating Office (ATTC NCO) (and former role as the Project Director for both the National Hispanic and Latino ATTC and PTTC) she creates access to tailored training and technical assistance, supporting the more immediate implementation of the most up-to-date advances in behavioral health care. Maxine’s recent work was with the National Latino Behavioral Health Association (NLBHA) as the Associate Director was focused on the delivery of culturally and linguistically competent services to Latino led and Latino serving providers, individuals, and communities across the country. An emphasis on workforce development grounded in approaches that integrate the CLAS Standards in a meaningful way has led to several invitations to speak at national conferences, presentations for the workforce across the behavioral health spectrum, and several other projects. Much of her career has also been dedicated to developing, improving, and providing peer-run services to those living with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, focusing on community defined needs and solutions. In 2011 she rebuilt a failed job-profit organization in Albuquerque, NM. The Albuquerque Center for Hope and Recovery (ACHR) is a 100% peer-run non-profit organization which offers group and 1:1 peer support service for under-served and never-served individuals seeking and/or maintaining sobriety, recovery and wellness. ACHR is the longest-running peer recovery organization in the Albuquerque metro area, and is known for providing high- quality, innovative, robust, and sustainable peer-driven services for those who are in great need. She continues to provide organizational wellness and capacity building consultation to several organizations nationwide. Maxine earned her Master’s in Social Work with a concentration in government/non- profit leadership and her Master’s in Business Administration in her hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico. She currently resides in the Denver Metro Area in Colorado with her husband and two sons.
