It displays connections between a client and their family, social groups, healthcare providers, and other organizations. These connections are depicted with lines of different styles to represent strong, weak, or stressful relationships. Arrows along the lines indicate the flow of resources between entities. Social workers use the ecomap tool to understand a client's social support system and how it impacts their goals.
