Before pretty much every kid had a smartphone, Sarah Cavallero saw upset teens yelling or throwing things across the room at Teton Youth and Family Services. Now instead of acting out, she sees kids turning their suffering inward: self-harming, and suicidal as young as 9 years old. Dr. Corso, a licensed clinical psychologist and board-certified behavior analyst, has been working with Cavallero on suicide prevention for four years. The founder of ProsperTogether.net, Corso says social media has fundamentally changed youth brain development, but we can’t treat technology as all bad. 

The more we talk directly about suicide, he says, the safer it is for people in crisis to speak up. 

“This is a safety issue,” he says, “just like we talk to our kids about fire safety or safe touches.” 

Cavallero and Corso have joined forces leading the 2025 Youth Mental Health Summit from May 14-16. The three-day event is free for kids under 18 and tickets for adults are available online.  

KHOL is a sponsor of the summit. 

Does Teton County have more jobs or people? How many homes exist here? And how much has that number grown? Co-host Pete Muldoon tests his pulse on the stats of Jackson against figures from the town and county’s housing supply plan. There’s good news and there’s not so good news for the region’s housing affordability. If you’re a geek for housing data, the answers might still surprise you. 

In Byron’s district some homes in Wilson are worth $30 million while some lots in Alpine can still go for $50,000. That’s just one of the big divides he straddles while lawmaking in Cheyenne. As a Republican, he takes pride in working with the Freedom Caucus, a far-right bloc that has the majority in the Wyoming House. He’s also not afraid to say he thinks some of their member’s behavior is unfair to Wyoming. From championing conservation in an oil and gas state to contemplating social issues like trans rights, Bryon advertises himself as a political bridge in a time when divisions reign. If you pick up the phone instead of sending a mean email, he says, he’ll buy you coffee. 

Andy Schwartz is the legislative advisor for the town of Jackson, a blue speck in an increasingly bright red state. Jackson has become a political target, he said, leading the town to hire a lobbyist to monitor and respond to relevant bills. Having served eight years in the same statehouse, he’s seen the rise of national partisanship and the Freedom Caucus reducing bipartisan lawmaking. Still, he said, common ground and compromise are not just possible but necessary. 

“Once you find one point of agreement, you can then work through that,” Schwartz said. “And that's pretty much how I deal with the Freedom Caucus, because we disagree on a lot.”
