Discover Your ACE Score

The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) questionnaire assesses exposure to events like emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, a mother treated violently, parental separation or divorce, drug use, and emotional and physical neglect.

The more adverse childhood experiences you've experienced, the higher your score. The higher your ACE score, the higher your chance of suffering from psychological and medical problems like chronic depression, cancer, or coronary heart disease.

Understanding your health and well-being as an adult may mean looking back to your childhood to trauma as a child. Connecting the dots can encourage you to take action to heal your present and protect your future health.
