Despite rapid technological development, very few new technology-assisted tools have been
developed specifically for use in family services. This article describes a new, mobileassisted
working model designed to enhance the quality of daily family life. The model has
its origins in the existing research on daily family life and on the diary method, which has
been widely used in data collection in family research. The model provides support for the
daily life of client families in the intervals between meetings with family counselors via the
use of text messages. The pilot study explored family members’ and family counselors’
experiences of using the model. Data on 26 parents and four children participating in the new
mobile-based service were collected via feedback text messages and web questionnaires. The
research findings are also based on interviews with family counselors (n = 6). Although
clients’ experiences of the model varied widely, the results show that in general it was
regarded as effective in invoking reflection, keeping the goals of family counseling in mind
and implementing family practices at home. On the basis of the experiences of the family
counselors, the mobile-based working model offers a new, systematic and structured tool for
use in working with families and monitoring processes in families.
