The Genogram for understanding the migratory process of families in social vulnerability. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.4, pp. 445-455.

The Social Work with Families performed under the Unique System of Social Assistance (SUAS) covers various challenges. One of them is the use of appropriate instruments that allow a more comprehensive understanding of the subjects' construction, the inequalities that affect them, the strategies to face vulnerability and the contextualization of this process in relation to the territory in which they live. This article's aim is to present, based on an experience report, different possibilities of using the genogram in social work with families in situations of vulnerability in the context of migration. The genogram proved to be an important tool for understanding building social bonds in the migratory process. This resource made it possible for both professionals and families to understand life stories, migration dynamics, the structure of inequalities that motivate the migratory flow and the survival strategies experienced by families in the face of social exclusion.

Keywords : genogram; territory; migration; Social Work with Families; social vulnerability.
