Printable PDF Download: Genogram Symbol Flashcards | Basic Ecomap and Health Symbols

$2.50
License Type

This PDF includes 125 print-your-own mini genogram flashcards covering identities, events, relational patterns, and health issues in the standard genogram visual vocabulary—plus symbols for gender identities and LGBTQA+ communities (note: collaborate with clients to assign symbols in a client-preferred way). It also includes cards for the five basic symbols used in ecomaps, a model for examining relationships within and beyond family systems.

Suggested Uses: Mental health professionals may find this tool especially helpful for clients to visualize patterns in their families of origin and discover new insights about themselves and their relationships. While commonly used in family therapy, these cards are also useful in healthcare settings, substance use treatment, and individual therapy.

How to Print

Printing flashcards can be a little tricky, so here are two options:

Option 1: Use a printer with double-sided (duplex) printing. Press Ctrl+P, turn on duplex printing, and select “flip on long side.” Set page size to “actual size.” Test print the first two pages. If alignment is off, try printing through Chrome’s built-in PDF viewer using the same settings.

Option 2: Skip duplex alignment by printing only the odd-numbered pages and hand-writing the backs. While more work, this engages a different part of the brain than simply using flashcards, which can help boost memorization. Cut apart with scissors or a paper cutter. For best results, print on cardstock (or DIY by cutting file folders to 8.5×11 and feeding them through your printer).

With a personal use license, the resource is just for you- no sharing. With a professional use license, you may share with your direct clients in the ordinary course of work. WIth a shared professional license, you may share the resource with a limited number of colleagues for them to use with a professional use license.

How should I print this PDF?

Great question! The PDF is designed to be printed on standard 8.5 x 11 inch paper.

For best results, choose “Fit to Page” from your print dialogue and select high-quality printing. Use bright white paper and fresh ink. Matte paper generally produces a softer, cleaner look than glossy paper.

You can find more tips and tricks for successful printing here.

Probably, but let's talk first! Permission to use in a presentation is granted on a case by case basis, and if used in a professional context usually requires a small fee to help keep my work sustainable.

Meet the Artist

 

I’m Lindsay Braman, I use my training as a therapist to hand draw mental health illustrations that make complex mental health concepts more approachable, memorable, and useful.

I doodled my way through a masters degree in Counseling Psychology, and along the way I learned just how many of us are visual learners who flourish when when concepts are made accessible in ways beyond just text and audio.

Accessible Mental Health Art

 

My illustrations organize complex information visually, offering another way to learn, process, and communicate.

For many, visual information is accessible information. I make art that helps everyone have access to tools and information they need to care well for themselves and others, make informed decisons, and grow.


From Screen to Paper

 

It's a digital download- but it doesn't have to stay digital!

Often, the same people who benefit from information presented in a visual format may remember a little more when they can touch, hold, and physically interact with the material.

So print it, make notations, hang it up, tuck it into a binder, or keep it somewhere you’ll see it everyday.
