The COVID-19 pandemic has placed today&rsquo:s society in an unprecedented scenario. During Portugal&rsquo:s first home confinement period (March&ndash:July 2020), the online-based &ldquo:COVID-19 in Trials and Tribulations&rdquo: project was implemented to support families with school-aged children. The project was grounded on the self-regulation framework and delivered through Facebook®: and Instagram®: pages. Being responsive to ongoing developments of the pandemic, activities were conveyed in two phases. Phase 1 occurred during lockdown (school was suspended). Phase 2 occurred while students were enrolled in at-distance (online) school. The present study aimed to examine the reach of the project, while examining the content and format of delivery that generated the most engagement among the users (4500 Facebook®: effective followers: 1200 Instagram®: effective followers) during the confinement period. Results showed that, at the individual page level, Facebook®: had higher reach indicators compared to Instagram®:, except for video. At the Facebook®: post level, followers and users showed more engagement with the page prior to the at-distance schooling phase: however, videos still generated engagement (p = 0.002). Both the post type (p <: 0.01) and frequency (p <: 0.001) of publication were suggested to be good predictors of engagement. The information gathered will help design and inform future interventions that may be implemented as new lockdowns are set in place.
