Help the National Eye Institute (NEI) spread the word about the important steps people can take to make their vision last a lifetime with this social media toolkit.
This toolkit provides a variety of resources in English and Spanish, including prewritten social media posts for Facebook and Twitter, infographics, infocards, videos, and more!
Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month
Many people don’t realize that kids as young as a few months old can be diagnosed with arthritis, and the effects of the disease can be devastating. Groundbreaking research and treatments funded by the Arthritis Foundation mean health care providers have multiple options for JA treatment and support, and research continues for new and better ways to manage the disease.
This toolkit provides social media graphics and post copy as well as video conference backgrounds to help you spread the word.
UV Safety Month
In July, we raise awareness that UV is the root cause of most skin cancers and encourage the public to take precautions. The AAD recommends that the public #PracticeSafeSun the year-round by following three simple steps while outdoors:
Seek shade when appropriate
Wear sun-protective clothing
Apply a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher
If you are looking for content to share with the public and your patients this summer, here are a few resources that help spread the word about sun protection and sun safety.
