# Invite a parent to create an account

With Juniper, **you can share media (pictures, videos, documents) with the parents of the patients that you see on a fully HIPAA-compliant platform.**

## Invite parents to create an account

Parents can be invited to create an account on Juniper in three ways:

1. **Patient modal -** when you click on their patient profile, you'll see a button that says "Ask them to create an account" if their account has not been created yet
2. [**Create a share**](https://docs.juniperplatform.com/parent-engagement/create-a-share-for-a-parent) **-** once you share a file with them, they'll automatically receive an email invitation to create a Juniper account.
3. **Start a new message -** when you message a parent for the first time, the chat will let you know if the parent doesn't have a Juniper account yet. If that's the case, you can click the "Ask them to create an account" button, and they'll receive an email invitation to create a Juniper account.
