Genograms are essential tools in social work for understanding family systems, identifying intergenerational patterns, and documenting complex family structures. They go beyond simple family trees by mapping health conditions, emotional relationships, and household boundaries.
WebGeno is built specifically for this work — not a generic diagramming tool with genogram templates, but purpose-built software with clinical features social workers actually need:
Map family structures during intake. Document relationships, living arrangements, and support networks. Identify strengths and risk factors across generations.
Track 42+ health conditions across generations — mental health, substance use, chronic illness, disability. Visual patterns make hereditary patterns immediately visible.
Attach clinical annotations to any family member or relationship. Categorize notes as observations, hypotheses, or interventions. Export with numbered references for case files.
Share genograms with families during sessions. Use as a visual tool to facilitate conversations about family dynamics, patterns, and goals.
Document custody arrangements, foster placements, and biological/adoptive relationships. Track which children are with which caregivers across placements.
Learn genogram creation during your BSW/MSW program with free Professional access. Practice with the same tool you'll use in your career.
