GISP SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLKIT
ON GLOBAL PARENTING
(June-December 2023)
During Global Parenting Month and beyond, partners working in the space of parent and caregiver support regardless of sector are encouraged to share this toolkit with their networks and use it to:
- Amplify key messages on universal parent and caregiver support through shared social media activities during the Global Parenting Month and beyond.
- Mobilize social media activity and generate conversations around the importance of investing in parenting and caregiving interventions.
- Elevate the value of evidence-based universal parent and caregiver support interventions.
- Generate momentum for the GISP website launch in late June, as a resource for those working in the universal parent and caregiver support movement.
The Global Initiative to Support Parents (GISP) is a global platform that aims to bridge sectors and partners to build momentum towards universal support for parents and caregivers during the first two decades of life and across the life course. The initiative was started by UNICEF, the World Health Organization (WHO), Parenting for Lifelong Health at the University of Oxford, the Early Childhood Development Action Network (ECDAN), and the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children. GISP works with governments, civil society partners, researchers and donors to promote universal access to support for all parents and caregivers that want or need it.

How do support interventions for parents and caregivers work? They can either be in groups or with individual households delivered by professional or paraprofessional staff. They might be combined with other interventions such as digital outreach or cash transfers.

Dear partners,
I am writing to share the new global parenting social media toolkit in anticipation of the launch of a new online global platform promoting universal access to evidence-based parent and caregiver interventions. The toolkit offers key ideas and messages that can be used throughout the year to share resources and build momentum for the global parent and caregiver support movement. It highlights the resources and stories on the new website as well as partners’ work around the world.
Please share the materials from the toolkit and use them to complement your organization’s social media messaging during June and beyond. Your participation will help amplify partners’ work and advance universal access to parent and caregiver support.
Download the toolkit here. Please tag GISP partners as you share the importance of parent and caregiver support interventions.
Thanks for your continued work to support parents and caregivers around the world.
