About

The Support Networks mind map template helps individuals map their personal and professional support systems across 6 major categories with 50 nodes. It covers Friends, Partner, Community-Gaia, Family Support, Social Media Support/Network, and Outdoor Ed Community. Users can identify key contacts like 'Bonnie and Spencer' for housing and fun, 'Caitlin' for listening and reflection, and 'Andrew and Liora' from the Gaia community. This template serves as a visual cheat sheet for maintaining relationships and recognizing support resources. It is ideal for life planning, therapy, or community organizing.
