ZOOMER SQUAD:  ZOOMER HEROES DURING THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR 12:00-12:30

Libby Znaimer is joined by Bill VanGorder, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Policy Officer of CARP, Anthony Quinn,  Chief Community Officer of CARP and Peter Muggeridge, Senior Editor of Zoomer Magazine.

One of many heroic stories emerging out of Israel as it's war continues to ramp up with Hamas, is that of retired major general in the IDF Noam Tibon, 62, and his wife who grabbed a pistol and made their way all the way from Tel Aviv to the communities near the Gaza border to save their son and his family during the attack on Oct. 7 and that's exactly what he did. And, he's not the only Zoomer to have taken heroic actions to save Israeli civilians! Meanwhile, what about the elderly who were taken hostage by Hamas and brought into Gaza. One of them was reportedly an elderly Holocaust woman who is wheelchair bound. Will Hamas allow the hostages to gain access to medical aid? And, closer to home, the panel reacts to the federal NDP convention that took place over the weekend.

MANAGING MENTAL HEALTH DURING TIMES OF WAR 12:30-12:50

Libby Znaimer is joined by Clinical Psychologists Dr. Hannah Rockman and Dr. Jenn Felsher.

One of the many tools that Hamas terrorists had in their arsenal when they brutally murdered Israelis during their assault last Saturday was social media. They filmed their murderous rampage online and broadcasted it for the world to see, leaving even kids exposed to extreme violence and terror. Our clinical psychologists join the program today to discuss how we can manage our mental health amid conflicts like this and how we can talk to our kids and grandchildren about their use of social media and protecting themselves against seeing graphic images of the war.
