About the Virtue & Values Based Spiritual Genogram
This virtue and values based spiritual genogram connects family structure with the principles people live by, showing how values are expressed through relationships, vocation, care, service, and community involvement.
The example maps eight people across three generations. Miguel and Teresa Hernandez form the oldest couple. Daniel Rivera and Rosa, and Carlos and Elena Martinez, form the next generation’s partner relationships. Ana Rivera and Mateo appear in the youngest generation. Birth years help place each person within the family timeline.
Every person has a detailed profile. Miguel represents integrity and neighborly service; Teresa compassion, hospitality, prayer, and care; Daniel service through education; Rosa healing and caregiving; Carlos forgiveness and second chances; Elena restorative justice and community guidance; Ana interfaith spirituality and traditional healing; and Mateo humility, stewardship, and connection with nature. Together, the profiles show how shared values can take different forms across generations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What values can I include?
Include any values meaningful to the family, such as compassion, integrity, faith, service, justice, forgiveness, courage, hospitality, responsibility, humility, healing, education, or stewardship.
How is a value different from a spiritual practice?
A value is a guiding principle; a practice is one way it is expressed. For example, compassion may be shown through caregiving, volunteering, hospitality, advocacy, prayer, or professional service.
Can family members hold different beliefs but share values?
Yes. The genogram can show how people from religious, interfaith, spiritual, or nonreligious backgrounds express common values in distinct ways.
How can Creately Clinical support values-based reflection?
Custom fields, notes, relationship markers, and visual categories can keep values and family context organized. Shared editing, comments, version history, and exports support reflection, collaborative care, and ongoing updates.
