Thousands of Israelis and Palestinians have been killed during the Israel-Hamas war, with many others being injured and/or held hostage, including children.

Children are being exposed to disturbing images of war from television to social media, and they are finding great difficulty being able to understand the conflict in Israel.

On this Mental Health Monday, WINK News Anchors Corey Lazar and Taylor Petras sit down with Stacey Cook, CEO of Salus Care and licensed clinical social worker, about helping children process the war in Israel.
