We created graphics and social media messages for others to use on their own channels to help spread awareness about safe sleep practices. Below are step by step instructions on how to use the toolkit from a desktop or a Smartphone:
How to do it from a desktop:
Desktop Instructions:
- Select and click a photo. The photo will enlarge on your screen.
- On your mouse, right-click to bring a menu of options.
- Select “Save As.” You will be prompted to locate a place on your computer network to save the image file. You’ll save the SafeSleepNC image somewhere in your files on your computer.
- Now, open up your social media page (be sure you’re logged in).
- Begin a new post and look for the photo icon to upload a new photo to your post.
- You’ll be prompted to upload a new photo, so find the photo you saved on your computer network.
- Select the SafeSleepNC photo you saved in your files to add it to the post.
- Now copy and paste the drafted social media messages (found here) or write your own safe sleep message to include with the photo.
- Be sure to include SafeSleepNC.org and #SafeSleepNC in your posts!
