“As the ACE study has shown, child abuse and neglect is the single most preventable cause of mental illness, the single most common cause of drug and alcohol abuse, and a significant contributor to leading causes of death such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and suicide.”

Childhood Trauma Test
Gain clarity on how your early life experiences influence your present well-being with our complimentary ACEs screening. This brief, confidential assessment helps you identify past hardships that may be contributing to your current struggles, offering valuable insight into the connection between your childhood history and your ongoing mental, emotional, and physical health.
The groundbreaking ACE test, developed through a collaboration between Kaiser Permanente and the CDC, revealed that adverse childhood experiences are significantly more common than previously understood. This landmark study established a clear correlation: individuals who faced a higher number of childhood challenges, as indicated by a higher ACE score, demonstrate a greater likelihood of experiencing mental and physical health difficulties in adulthood.
Please note that questions regarding childhood trauma may be sensitive or triggering. If you are concerned that revisiting these experiences could cause you distress, we recommend postponing this assessment until you can complete it with the support and guidance of a qualified mental health professional.
