خلاصه	The culturagram is a visual family-assessment tool that helps social workers understand the influence of culture on a family by placing the family at the center of a diagram surrounded by ten culturally relevant dimensions — from reasons for relocation and legal status to language, health beliefs, holidays, and contact with cultural institutions. Created by Elaine Congress in 1994, it individualizes families who might otherwise be stereotyped by ethnicity, makes cultural context explicit and discussable, and is used to both assess and empower culturally diverse families.	Social network mapping is a structured way to assess a client's personal social network by listing the people in it, organizing them by life domain, and rating each relationship for the kind and direction of support it provides, its closeness, and how often and how long contact occurs. Developed for social-work practice by Elizabeth Tracy and James Whittaker as the Social Network Map and accompanying grid, it turns the often-vague question of who is in a client's life and what they offer into a visual and tabular assessment that guides support-focused intervention.
