Genograms can be powerful tools to build awareness of patterns in families and organizations, but what we don’t often acknowledge is that genograms can be really hard to make. This blank genogram template I developed in response to those requests is designed especially for therapists and healthcare providers who want to create genograms as part of their work, but need a little bit of help from grids and lines to maintain a readable page. This resource includes both an 11 x 17 PDF for oversized printers, and a second PDF containing the 11 x 17 version split into two 8.5 x 11 pages, which can be printed and taped together to form an 11 x 17 page. Suggested Uses: Mental health professionals may find this tool especially helpful with clients to visually understand family patterns – including how substance use impacts generations, how one generation’s trauma impacts generations, and even the ways that health and mental health diagnoses impact families.
