A recent study found teenagers are increasingly depressed, feel hopeless and are more likely to consider su***de. The research suggests those symptoms are linked to increased social media use and smartphones. Are you a parent, teacher or counselor who sees teens struggle? What kinds of problems do they encounter? How are you dealing with their issues?

Call in at 202-216-9217 and include your full name, contact information and where you're from. You can also email [email protected]. We may use your response on the air.

Why send kids with us for adventure and reflection? We believe we can help teenagers avoid drug use and have better self esteem, coping mechanisms, and self advocacy. Here's why that matters-

"In one 2016 study of 466 adults who had used ma*****na, Banich found that the earlier they started, the less developed their white matter, which plays a key role in helping different parts of the brain communicate. Those subjects reporting early or frequent drug use also showed alterations in the shape of certain brain regions — one associated with reward, another with memory.

Just what this means for behavior or cognition is still to be determined, but Banich said it suggests that “if you start early and use ma*****na a lot, there are likely to be lasting effects on the brain.”

In contrast, the experience of exercise or intellectual stimulation might fuel positive brain development, she believes."

Teenagers and young adults think and act differently from grownups. CU scientist Marie Banich is helping us see why.

Congratulations River Restoration Adventures For Tomorrow on an awesome season!

RRAFT got out on the lower Gunnison River with Keith Cooper and the Rig To Flip media company on our last trip of the 2016 Season!

We were down there cutting out Russian Olive in an effort to help keep the riparian corridor healthy in the Gunnison Gorge NCA.

Thank you to American Rivers, the Can'd Aid Foundation, Down River Equipment, and Rocky Mountain Rafts for making this effort possible.

This season we were able to cut out over 65 trees with the help of community volunteers, Cedaredge & Delta High School kids, and our excellent team of sawyers.

Tune in this winter to see the documentary that highlights this effort!
