Protective Factors Social Media Toolkit Series
This toolkit, Parenting Tips: Concrete Supports in Times of Need, is the fifth of six child abuse and neglect prevention Protective Factors Social Media Toolkits developed by the National Children’s Advocacy Center. These toolkits are based on the Strengthening Families™ Protective Factor Framework (1) and the Protective Factors Conversation Guides for Partnering with Families (2).

Each toolkit is centered around one of the following protective factors:
- Nurturing and attachment
- Knowledge of parenting and child development
- Parental resilience
- Social connections
- Concrete supports in times of need
- Social and emotional competence of children
