Stop, Check, Enjoy Social Media Toolkit

NOTE: Stop, Check, & Enjoy materials DO NOT reflect the recent Cape Fear River fish consumption advisories for PFAS, published by the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services on July 13, 2023. Learn more about these new advisories here.

Social Media Toolkit

The stop, Check, & Enjoy! campaign aims to help people eat safer fish from out of the Cape Fear River. Our social media toolkit is a great way to spread these important environmental health messages to the vulnerable groups that are most impacted by contaminated fish.

What is a social media toolkit?

A social media toolkit gives anyone the information and resources they need to amplify a social media campaign. Our toolkit aims to spread the messages of the Stop, Check, & Enjoy! campaign — namely eating fish safely from the Cape Fear River.

What are the different parts of our toolkit?

PDF guide: Includes suggested text and hashtags for posts and lays out which graphics go with each campaign message for each social media platform. The guide is also made for both English and Spanish-speaking audiences. Check out the guide —> English | Spanish

Campaign messages: Our toolkit has four separate campaign messages that touch on different aspects of Stop, Check, Enjoy and eating fish safely out of the Cape Fear River. The PDF guide has samples text and graphics for each of these four messages.

Graphics: Visuals that you can use in your social media posts. Check out the graphics —> English | Spanish
