Understood’s “Be the Reason” campaign aims to build awareness of and reduce stigma around learning and thinking differences among parents. Through new research, a social media challenge, and a variety of videos, resources, real stories, and activities for parents to engage their child, we want to help parents be the reason their child thrives.
The #YouCanBeTheReason social media challenge is led by social media influencers The Holderness Family, who share their personal experience with ADHD. The challenge encourages parents to share how they’ve helped their child thrive — across TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. Take the challenge and share how #YouCanBeTheReason.
