Lesson Plan

Genogram Detectives Plan

Students will learn to construct a genogram by mapping their family relationships and identifying basic patterns (e.g., marriage, siblings). They will practice using standard symbols to develop self-awareness and empathy.

Genograms deepen students’ understanding of their own family structures and dynamics, fostering self-awareness, empathy, and respect for diverse backgrounds.
