About the Community Health Assessment Genogram
This community health assessment genogram places a family and its community resources in one view, making care relationships, support pathways, and service coordination easier to understand.
The example begins with Sarah and Michael Johnson and their child, Emma. Three external resources—the family doctor, community clinic, and school—surround the household so users can see how family and community systems work together.
Four labeled connections explain the support flow. Sarah receives health advice through the family doctor, the community clinic contributes to family care, Emma connects with student support through the school, and a referral pathway links the clinic and school.
- Maps three family members and three community resources
- Shows four clearly labeled support and referral pathways
- Keeps healthcare and education connections alongside the family structure
- Provides a practical starting point for coordinated family and community support

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a community health assessment genogram include?
It combines the relevant family structure with healthcare providers, schools, agencies, programs, and other resources. Labeled connections show how advice, care, support, and referrals move through the network.
Can I add more than healthcare services?
Yes. Add any resource that contributes to family wellbeing, including schools, housing services, food programs, transportation, counseling, community groups, faith organizations, and financial-support services.
How do directional arrows help?
Arrows make the flow of support easy to follow. They can show who provides a service, who receives it, and how one organization refers the family to another resource.

Creately's Social Work fields can record housing status, employment, income sources, insurance, support networks, services received, and risk factors. The Risk & Services viewpoint, collaborative editing, comments, and shareable reports help multidisciplinary teams review the same family and service map together.
