    Dr. Cara Gallegos, an Associate Professor at Boise State's School of Nursing, wanted to see if practicing mindfulness could have these same benefits for parents, particularly parents who have children with complex medical conditions.

    That's why she is working on a new study that looks at whether or not these practices could help improve their mental health. Gallegos joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this study and how it works.

    How many times have you heard us say, "paint me a word picture? or describe what it looks like?" Well, this time, I just don’t think we can do that.

    Imagine a six foot high tortoise, crawling along a rocky landscape or a pair of 12 foot high bighorn sheep playfully bumping heads on a huge cliff. That’s just a small part of the amazing nature scenes you’ll see this weekend at the 7th annual Les Bois Film Festival at JUMP in downtown Boise.

    Matt Podolsky, one of the festival organizers, joins Idaho Matters to try and describe all this lush, beautiful nature footage.

    It’s no secret that many kids in America are struggling with mental health issues. Studies from across the country and in Idaho are showing an alarming rise in the number of children and teens who struggle with sadness, depression and even thoughts of suicide.

    The number of mental health professionals is dropping, thanks to a growing shortage of experts and a growing number of people who quit the profession because of burnout and lack of support.

    The Idaho Youth Ranch wants to fill that gap with a new website designed to help support and celebrate the folks who take care of our kids when they are in crisis, it’s called Leading Edge for Youth.

    Scott Curtis, the CEO of Idaho Youth Ranch and Camille Anderson, their Chief People Officer, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the new online community.

    not just protecting public lands but solving natural resource issues, wilderness designation, restoration and protection issues - from the Owyhee's to the panhandle.

    And these collaborative efforts are being used as a model to help resolve other natural resource problems facing the west.

    John Robison, the Public Lands Director for the Idaho Conservation League, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    Red Swamp Crayfish have invaded Idaho.

    These invasive crustaceans shouldn’t be here and they could harm native species and water quality if they are allowed to spread.

    These red, bumpy creatures were found where the Snake Clearwater Rivers meet and were discovered by a group of Lewiston High School students who were taking part in a special hands-on learning project from the University of Idaho Extension Department.

    Jim Ekins, U of I Extension Water Educator and Director of IDAH20 joins Idaho Matters to talk more.

    'Clean Slate Act' offers fresh start for non-violent offenders Mar 30, 2023
    Show notes

    Earlier this week, Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed into law what’s been dubbed the Clean Slate Act.

    The bipartisan legislation allows people with “minor non-violent, non-sexual offenses” to ask to shield their criminal record from public view if they meet certain conditions.

    Even a conviction for a minor offense can create barriers to renting an apartment or finding a job. Minority Leader Ilana Rubel (D-Boise), who championed the bill, and Sen. Dave Lent (R-Idaho Falls) joined Idaho Matters to talk more.
