Domestic Violence Awareness Month
October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month. At OurFamilyWizard we recognize that children are especially vulnerable to the effects of domestic violence because they are still mentally and emotionally developing. The long-term effects of domestic violence can last a lifetime, and victims who experience abuse as children often carry the trauma into adulthood.

GPS certified Check-ins through the Journal feature
Use the Check-in feature to help build trust and increase accountability. A clear history of dependability helps build trust between co-parents and children.
Secure communication through Calls
Since OurFamilyWizard is a closed communication system, parents do not have to reveal their contact information and can choose when they are, or aren't, available for calls.
