FULL TRAINING DESCRIPTION:
This training introduces participants to three powerful tools used in assessment and engagement: Ecomaps, Genograms, and the Three Houses framework. Participants will learn how to use Ecomaps to visually map out a client’s support systems, relationships, and environmental influences, helping to identify strengths and stressors. The Genogram component will focus on understanding family structure, patterns, and intergenerational dynamics that may impact behavior and wellbeing. The Three Houses tool—centered on the House of Worries, House of Good Things, and House of Dreams—provides a child-friendly, strengths-based approach to gathering perspectives and promoting open communication. Through interactive activities and practical examples, attendees will build skills in applying these tools to enhance assessment, strengthen engagement, and support collaborative, person-centered planning across a variety of settings. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Describe the purpose and key components of Ecomaps, Genograms, and the Three Houses framework.
