Assignment
General Instructions
The student is expected to develop a quasi-biopsychosocial assessment about the social problem or illness of a
family member in the student’s genogram (for examples, heart problems and addictions). The student is
required to choose one family member to discuss.
GenoPro Software
In order to successfully compose the genogram diagram, each student must use the GenoPro software, which is
available on the Social Science Building computer lab.
Writing Laboratory
In addition, working in tandem with the writing laboratory will give the student an opportunity to
assess/scrutinize his/her written work that will ultimately result in earning a satisfactory grade. Therefore, in
order to earn the total points for this portion of the assignment, the student must verify that contact has been
made with the writing tutor in the Center for Academic Success’s (CAS) Tutoring Lab. Information about the
Tutoring Lab can be found on Brightspace (Desire2Learn [D2L]) or at
https://www.savannahstate.edu/cas/tutorial-services.shtml. I recommend setting an appointment with the tutor
for 30 minutes to 01 hour to discuss your paper. English Tutor Consultation Verification Form, which is located
in D2L under this assignment tab, must be signed by the English tutor, which verifies that you attended a
writing session with the tutor. Also, the tutor should notate at least two areas of improvement that was focused
on throughout the paper. Students should strongly encourage and reemphasize to the tutor to write comments on
the paper as students will have to submit the marked paper with the final version of the paper as electronic and
hard-copies by the appropriate deadline.
Plagiarism
Last, the final version of the paper must reflect 30% or less in plagiarized work based on the report provided by
Turnitin.

where were behaviors observed; tendency to reframe illness/social problem and blaming others;
difficulty handling activities of daily living: shopping and financial resources to name a couple.
• Discuss cognitive signs and symptoms: Mental impairments; ability to concentrate; perception of
reality; distortion of realty and or diminished problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
• Discuss behavioral signs and symptoms: Difficulty in performing vocational functions; change in
social behavior (for examples, withdrawal, demanding behavior, impulsive behavior, suicide

3. Conclusion/Student Reflection (1−2 pages) (Write in 1st Person; do use “I” statements)
• Based on the information gathered from above, the student should develop strategies /interventions
to aid the family member at the micro, mezzo and macro levels. The student must provide three
interventions for each level. For an example, if you have a family member with heart problems, then
the following outline may be helpful:
•
o Assessment (Micro/Mezzo Levels)
▪ Aunt_____has cardiomegaly (enlarged heart).
o Interventions
▪ What does family member need to do to maintain a healthy heart?
▪ What do family members need to do help (i.e., spouse, children, siblings, family will)
▪ What other things are necessary?
o Assessment
▪ My Aunt _____has been hospitalized twice; she is no longer working and her
retirement fund has dwindled due to medical expenses.
o Interventions
▪ What resources can the hospital/physician provide (i.e., prescription coupons, etc.)?
▪ Can friends at former place of employment or church offer assistance?
▪ Depending on the situation, can a community fund raiser be offered?
