01
Define the center and context
Choose an individual or household and list the surrounding people, groups, and services. Use fictional or de-identified details for case exercises.
02
Describe each connection
State the relationship quality and direction of support where known. Ask for a legend that explains labels and line styles.

Review the person’s perspective
Check that the map reflects the supplied account. Mark uncertain connections and add the date so later changes can be understood.
What is an ecomap?
An ecomap places a person or household within a wider social environment. It records connections to people, groups, services, and institutions, including support, strain, and gaps in the network.
When to map the wider environment
Use one for a social work learning exercise, a support-network discussion, or personal reflection on available resources. The example centers on an individual and connects family members with workplace, school, community, and service contacts.
Rules for respectful network mapping
Define the central unit. State whether the map describes one person or a household.
Use the supplied perspective. A relationship label should reflect reported experience rather than an assumption.
Explain connection meanings. Add a legend for supportive, strained, weak, or uncertain ties.
Separate presence from access. A nearby service is not necessarily a resource the person can actually use.
Date the snapshot. Relationships and available support may change over time.
How MyMap lays out social connections
MyMap places your central person or household among the contacts you describe. Ask it to clarify a relationship label, distinguish available resources from proposed ones, or add missing context from the case.

Common questions
How is an ecomap different from a genogram?
An ecomap emphasizes connections to the wider environment, including institutions and resources. A genogram centers on family structure and relationships across generations.
Should every connection be labeled strong or weak?
Only when the supplied information supports that description. Mixed or unknown relationships can be labeled explicitly instead of forced into a simple rating.
Does the map assess someone automatically?
No. It organizes the account you provide. Review the relationship labels with the person or appropriate case reviewer rather than treating the drawing as an independent assessment.
