6. Eco-map Exercise-
• “ An eco- map provides a diagrammatic representation of a person’s social world. In addition to presenting an overview of a person, family, or household in context, the eco-map readily identifies the energy- enhancing and energy depleting relationships between members of a primary social system and outside world. The graphic nature of the eco-map highlights social strengths and social deficiencies and helps identify areas of conflicts and compatibility. It often indicates areas where change may be needed” (Cournoyer, 2000, p. 37).
• If anyone would like to do this exercise with your family and/or have questions about this process, please let Joyce or I know. We would be happy to help you!
