Özet	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 support assessment is the systematic appraisal of the people and resources a client can draw on, the kinds of support they provide, and how adequate that support feels relative to the client's needs. Drawing on the structural-functional theory of support and on validated instruments such as the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, it gives social workers a structured way to map who is in a client's network, what emotional, instrumental, informational, and appraisal support those ties offer, and where gaps leave the client vulnerable — information that is central to strengths-based intervention and care planning.
