At The Williams Center for Wellness and Recovery, Mr. Williams handles day-to-day operations, builds strategic partnerships, and empowers community members to understand their role in mental health support. He has led the company in its growth from seven mental health clients to more than 700 in just a year. To scale the program to meet community needs, Mr. Williams collaborates with Loudoun Medical Group’s CEO, physicians and advanced practice providers to provide depression screenings and patient referrals. His work has drawn in clinical experts to help develop emergency medicine protocols, community partners to address gaps in care, and a series of government leaders to address immediate community needs in the mental health space. He successfully leveraged his strong relationships within the community to create a team of clinical providers who helped develop an on-site mental health telehealth program at Park View High School in Sterling, Va. after a series of suspected overdoses. Mr. Williams also serves on the board of directors for the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce and was recently appointed to the Loudoun County Economic Development Advisory Council.
