Parental Alienation Advocates Social Media Policy:

Parental Alienation Advocates recognizes the critical role that social media plays in engaging with our community and raising awareness about parental alienation and its impact on families. As stewards of our online presence, we have implemented a comprehensive social media policy to guide our interactions across various platforms, including Facebook (group and page), Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and future channels as the need arises.

Key Principles:

1. Organizationally Run Platforms: Our social media channels are managed and operated collectively by Parental Alienation Advocates and are intended to represent the organization as a whole rather than individual members. Content posted reflects the organization’s values, mission, and initiatives across different pillars, including the Family Disappeared Podcast, Parental Alienation Anonymous, the 12-step program, foundational training, and advocacy work.
2. Anonymity vs. Organizational Voice: While some posts may be attributed to individuals within the organization, it is important to note that anonymity is not a primary concern on our platforms. We aim to maintain a cohesive organizational voice that aligns with our overarching objectives and messaging, ensuring consistency and clarity in our communications.
3. Diverse Content and Engagement: Our social media strategy encompasses a diverse range of content, including educational resources, personal stories, event promotions, and updates on our advocacy efforts. We encourage active engagement from our community members, fostering meaningful discussions and connections around the topic of parental alienation.
4. Platform Expansion: As our outreach and impact expand, we remain open to exploring additional social media platforms that can effectively amplify our message and reach a wider audience. New platforms will be integrated strategically based on the evolving needs and preferences of our community.
5. Transparency and Accountability: To uphold our commitment to transparency and accountability, we adhere to best practices in social media management, including clear attribution of posts, responsiveness to inquiries and feedback, and regular monitoring of engagement metrics to assess the effectiveness of our communication strategies.

By adhering to these guidelines and principles, Parental Alienation Advocates endeavors to leverage social media as a powerful tool for advocacy, support, and education within the parental alienation community.
