Morehouse School of Medicine is recognizing the first national HBCU Mental Health Awareness Day with campus presentations and a competition to produce the best public service announcement promoting mental health awareness. The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Center for Excellence (HBCU-CFE) in Substance Abuse and Mental Health at Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) are collaborating to announce this first National Mental Health Awareness Day happening on February 23, 2010.
The NFL Alumni Association and the Morehouse School of Medicine today announced a partnership to address mental health issues affecting retired NFL players and their families.
Born and educated in Pittsburgh, Penn., Ken Hudson, Morehouse School of Medicine board of advisor, has a storied career that took him from interim athletic director at Central State University to vice president of marketing development for The Coca-Cola Company. However, the pioneering moment that changed the landscape of the NBA took place between 1968 and 1972 when Hudson became the first full-time African-American referee in the league.
