Our system currently works through SMS text rather than email because studies have shown that even our highest need, lowest socioeconomic status populations have access to mobile phones with SMS text capabilities.


However, families also have the option to download the TalkingPoints for families app from their app store on their mobile device:


Additionally, families can use our web app by going to talkingpts.org, selecting "log-in" and choosing "family contacts". The apps are free, reliable, and only require a phone number to log in--no email required!
