With social work in mind, particularly referring to an ECOMAP,(a structural diagram of a client's most important relationships with people, groups, and organizations; and identifies resources available in the clients' community.} please help with the questions below. Thanks in advance.

1. Discuss how this tool helped you conceptualize your current family situation and define your family.
2. How does your definition of the family differ from other approaches to defining "family"?
3. Explain different types of diversity in your family and the effects diversity has on your family.
4. Compare your family to the various types of diversity within family systems you will encounter as a social worker.
5. Discuss any new insights you gained completing this exercise.
6. Why is it important to have clients complete an Ecomap?
