Childhood Trauma (ACE)
Assess the adverse experiences of your childhood and their current impact
About this test
This test draws on the ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) questionnaire developed by Drs. Felitti and Anda. It explores four dimensions of adverse childhood experiences: maltreatment, neglect, family dysfunction, and the impact on your current life. Research shows that these experiences are closely linked to physical and mental health in adulthood. Understanding your experience is an essential step in beginning a healing process.
Dimensions assessed
- ●Maltreatment- Experiences of physical, psychological, or verbal violence endured during childhood.
- ●Neglect- Lack of care, attention, and response to the child's fundamental needs.
- ●Family Dysfunction- Unstable family environment marked by addiction, domestic violence, or mental illness.
- ●Current Impact- Consequences of childhood trauma on your current physical health, mental health, and relationships.
