Morgan’s Message at Marist University serves to amplify stories, resources, and expertise to confront student-athlete mental health, building a community by and for athletes, and providing a platform for advocacy. Morgan’s Message strives to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health within the student-athlete community and equalize the treatment of physical and mental health in athletics. We aim to expand the dialogue on mental health by normalizing conversations, empowering those who suffer in silence, and supporting those who feel alone. Members of this organization will work to spread awareness on campus and promote involvement with the student body as a whole through club meetings or campus-wide events, working in collaboration with other clubs, athletic teams, and Greek organizations.
