Disconnecting in order to reconnect may sound counterintuitive, but it's important for our mental health, especially for our kids.

Which is why for the second year in a row, LifeOutdoors is inviting teens to share their adventures in nature as part of a multimedia contest.

The initiative puts a spotlight on young storytellers, inviting them to unplug and go explore.

Dick Jordan, the executive director of Life Outdoors, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this contest.
