About:
Two years ago, senior student-athlete Cara Harrington took the initiative to bring the Morgan’s Message organization to Glens Falls High School. As the club’s president and Morgan’s Message ambassador, Cara has worked to spread awareness about mental health, particularly within the student-athlete community. Inspired by the organization’s mission to break the stigma around mental health, the club hosts monthly meetings, dedication games, and community events.
With over 50 student-athletes involved, they have hosted several dedication games, community events, and partnered with local sports teams to raise awareness. Their goal is to create an open environment for important conversations surrounding mental health, emphasizing that no one is ever alone in their struggles.
