Rationale: The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your knowledge and skills in constructing an eco-map to analyze important connections between systems in one’s social environment, using yourself as the focal system.
Directions: Create an ecomap of yourself and write a paper following the guidelines below.
Construct an eco-map diagram of yourself using the standard format covered in the PPT lecture and readings. Your eco-map should cover you and at least six different systems. Use different lines to show differences in the nature of the relationships of each system (i.e., conflicted, strong, tenuous) and arrows indicating the energy flow between systems. Provide a key that indicates what each type of line represents. Your eco-map may be computer- generated or hand-drawn. However, it must be readable with all sections visible to earn assigned points.

A description of at least 3 ways an eco-map could be used in social work practice
The assignment will also be evaluated for grammar, spelling, writing quality, professional presentation, etc.
