Social Services Community Genogram

About the Social Services Community Genogram

This social services community genogram places a Social Services Group at the center of a small support network, making professional roles, community participation, and family context easy to see together.

The example contains six people and one service group. Ken and Anna are shown as a married couple. Camilla is identified as a teacher, Amanda as a government officer, Matilda as a former clerk, and John as a chairman. Matilda is also marked deceased.

Directional lines connect Camilla, Amanda, Matilda, and John with the central Social Services Group. This hub-based structure gives users a practical starting point for adding clients, caregivers, case workers, agencies, schools, healthcare providers, nonprofits, public services, and other community resources.

  • Maps six people and one central service group
  • Records four professional or community roles
  • Connects four people with the Social Services Group
  • Provides an expandable foundation for service and community-support coordination
