Baseball to Partner with Morgan’s Message for Saturday’s Game
3/16/2022 12:43:00 PM | Baseball
DURHAM – Duke Baseball and the non-profit organization Morgan's Message will team up during Saturday's home game against North Carolina to bring awareness to behavioral health within the student-athlete community.
On Saturday night, the Blue Devils will don stickers on their batting helmets with the Morgan's Message logo in addition to wearing bracelets with the organization's mantra – "taking a shot at mental health."
"Morgan's Message is such an incredible group on our campus and we are so excited to partner with them to help spread their important message," graduate student infielder Wil Hoyle said. "Mental health is often not prioritized with student-athletes and we hope through this partnership that we can take steps to fight the stigma around mental health in college athletics. We are so proud to be promoting Morgan's Message and help let college athletes know they are not alone."
Morgan's Message amplifies stories, resources, and expertise to confront student-athlete mental health, build a community by and for athletes and provide a platform for advocacy. The organization aims to expand the dialogue on mental health by normalizing conversations, empowering those who suffer in silence, and supporting those who feel alone.
The organization honors the life of Morgan Rodgers, a former Duke women's lacrosse player.
In addition to offering resources online, Morgan's Message has a podcast available titled The Mental Matchup. The podcast shares stories about mental health journeys of fellow student-athletes and hops to provide a safe space for processing difficult topics and emotions.
