Probably, but you may have to create some shapes yourself. Looking at
the symbols required for ecomaps these are all standard shapes and
connections as far as I can see.
Genograms are a bit more complex, the special line types will be
difficult, especially the emotional relationships.

They are not that difficult. the emotional relationships are just line
patterns. I already have a person shape that handles male/Female/unknown
live/dead and several line types for relations.

Dannye, if you are interested, give me a few days to clean it up and I will
send you the stencil.

John or others,
I am interested in a Visio template to create Genograms. This will be used in our family support unit within the Public Sector Organisation in which I work.

Being the Public Sector we are still using Visio 2002.

If any one could send me a template I would be most grateful.

Personal and Work email addresses attached:

***@hotmail.com
***@hackney.gov.uk

Thanks in anticipation.
Oscar Monteiro
