What is the ACE test?

The ACE test, adverse childhood experience test or childhood trauma test scores responses from questions about abuse, trauma, neglect, or even growing up with parents that struggle with mental health or substance abuse.  These and other experiences that you may have gone through as a child or during the first 18 years of your life form the questions of the ACE questionnaire.

Each question is scored a 1 for yes and 0 for no.  A high score would indicate a hard upbringing and may be an indication of mental/physical health issues and chronic disease states later on in life.

This childhood trauma test is not a diagnostic tool but rather a guide that will assist your team in understanding your childhood and, in some cases, can even identify issues buried for many years. Leading to effective therapy.
