Make clients’ social networks visible as a foundation for appropriate care, client autonomy, and network-based practice.

The MLM-Tool helps clients map out their social network from their own perspective in five simple steps. It is practical, thorough, and immediately applicable in daily practice.

Social media is not a side issue

Social relationships are of great importance to health, resilience, and quality of life. That is precisely why the social network is not just an additional topic alongside health care, but an important part of appropriate care.

In many organizations, that network is important, but it is still not visible enough in practice. Yet that is precisely where a great deal of information lies about support, proximity, continuity, and participation.

For organizations that want to work from the client’s social perspective

The MLM-Tool is suitable for organizations that want to work on:

• clients' autonomy
• Network-Oriented Work in Daily Practice
• The social network as part of appropriate care
• better cooperation with family members, volunteers, and other stakeholders

These include organizations in the fields of youth care, care for people with disabilities, mental health care, elder care, social services, rehabilitation, education, and social support.
