As part of Capital Health’s newly-formed Capital Healthy Students initiative, we invited middle school students grades sixth through eighth to participate in our "Teens Off Screens" public service announcement (PSA) video contest. Launched on November 1, 2023, this campaign was meant to raise awareness about the dangers of spending too much time in front of screens, while also promoting healthier alternatives and digital mindfulness.
