Ecomap maker · pick the outside systems and you're done

What this tool does

An ecomap (Hartman, 1978) puts the family in a central circle and shows its relationships with the outside world — school, work, friends, health and welfare services — as lines. Line weight shows how strong a tie is, hatching shows stress, and arrows show which way energy and resources flow.

How to use it

1. Name the family in the centre circle, or import the household from the genogram maker.
2. Switch on the outside systems that matter (school, work, hospital, welfare agency, religion, friends…), or add your own.
3. For each system choose the strength of the tie and the arrow direction. Link a system to one family member if only that person is involved.
4. Check the legend and save the ecomap for your assignment.
