Morgan's Message was created in 2020 by Morgan Rodgers' parents after she died by suicide in 2019. She was a Duke University lacrosse player, so her parents set the mission of de-stigmatizing mental health among athletes, and creating a community where they feel supported. Students here at OU share how they implement Morgan's Message into athletics on campus.
