Kara Williams is the co-founder of Brain Treatment Foundation, a 501(c)3 dedicated to the education, active rehabilitation and empowerment of Americans suffering from brain injuries.

Being married to a Navy pilot for the last 16 years, Kara has spent much of that time working with wounded warriors and special needs children. She has played an instrumental role in building out research for veterans suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury and Post-Traumatic Stress and continues to work with cutting edge medical treatments and programs in an effort to build a pipeline for TBI/PTS patients that is not only effective in symptom relief, but provides healing with longevity.

Through working closely with service members, a large portion falling under the SOCOM umbrella, Kara experienced the struggles of TBI/PTS and the 22/day suicide rate first hand. The tremendous need inspired Kara to advocate for not only more effective treatments, but accurate baseline testing, continuing evaluations, long-term care for service members and education about brain health. She continues to lobby on Capitol Hill and work with public health care authors to affect real change on a level greater than any individual organization.
