Resiliency Campaign
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Alliance National Parent Partnership Council (ANPPC) created images to help parents build resiliency to help them solve problems creatively and “bounce back” from negative experiences. The main campaign consists of 12 images with messages linked to resources and a “home for the holidays” campaign made up of four images.
Download the Images
When you click to download the images, you will download a JPEG of the image. Web links are not live in a JPEG, so be sure to include the tiny URL link provided with the image when sharing on social media. There is a suggested message for you to copy and use when posting the image on social media. This text provides links directly to the referenced resources and includes the hashtag #ctfresilienttogether
Victoria Hilt, co-chair of the ANPPC, created from her home a step-by-step video of how to download an image and post it to the various social media platforms. To view this 6-minute video, click on the button below.
