Meet George Brooks
Living with mental illness since age 7, George suffered abuse, weight loss surgery, childhood obesity, MANY health issues, addiction, divorce trauma, custody battles, raising a son with mental illness, poverty, starting a nonprofit, and much more as a black man ALL while struggling with a couple of serious diagnoses’ and yet he is thriving.
George is involved in several business ventures, and is a mental health advocate, CEO, life coach, public speaker, writer, and producer, and lives the challenges of each day and counts the strength and wisdom he's gained from his journey as a blessing. He hopes to share his experiences and inspire others.
Metta Association was founded by George Brooks, originally of Memphis, Tennessee, who was inspired to do the great work of philanthropy by instituting a non-profit agency emphasizing mental health wellness as he transitioned to the Dallas, Texas Metropolitan area. Metta Association is a grassroots organization and our bottom line is FundaMental Health - the psychological well-being of the communities we serve.
