Incentives will be offered – want an Amazon Echo? You’ll also become a preconception health celebrity: Website/photo spread on ShowYourLoveToday.com, highlighted in the national PCHHC newsletter, and invited to do a “social media takeover” to feature themselves on our and our partners’ social channels.

Support the CDC National Birth Defects Prevention network Thunderclap. They also created some other materials for use this January HERE. If you want to sync your posts with the national conversations, here’s a look at the themes covered each month:
