Two Fox Chapel Area High School students were first-place winners in the Prevent Suicide PA Public Service Announcement contest for youth suicide prevention.
Seniors Zoe Broyles and Cali Johnson created a video public service announcement for the 988 National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
The video is featured on the Prevent Suicide PA website. Zoe and Cali have been invited to attend Suicide Prevention Night at the Pittsburgh Pirates game on April 22. The winners will also receive a monetary award, and Prevent Suicide PA will come to Fox Chapel Area High School to provide a mental health awareness training for up to 20 students.
Broyles and Johnson were students of teacher Ryan Devlin’s digital media production class during the first semester of the 2022-2023 school year.
