Three free, editable genogram templates — one for each of the fields that use genograms most. Every person in them is fictional. Click Open in the editor, replace the placeholder family with yours, and export a PNG or PDF with an auto-generated legend. No signup, and the diagram never leaves your browser.

Three generations with the emotional process layer switched on: a fused mother–daughter dyad, father–son conflict, a cutoff with the paternal grandfather, and a divorce in the grandparent generation. The index person (double outline) is the identified patient. Use it to practice reading emotional patterns, or swap in your client's family during intake.
A three-generation medical genogram with conditions noted under each person — myocardial infarction, type 2 diabetes, colon cancer, hypertension, breast cancer. This is the format nursing programs ask for in family assessment assignments and the structure clinicians use to spot hereditary risk clusters. Replace the fictional conditions with the real history you collect.

Social work assessment template
A household-centered genogram: a divorced couple with ongoing conflict, a cohabiting new partner, a grandmother living in the home, and a foster placement on a dotted drop line. It shows how genogram notation captures the messy, real composition of a household — the thing a case file narrative buries in paragraphs.
- Divorce + cohabitation lines
- Foster child (dotted drop line)
- Single-parent connection (grandmother)
- Distant, close, and conflict overlays
