Understanding Your ACEs Score

The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) score is a tool used to assess the level of trauma experienced during childhood. ACEs include various forms of abuse, neglect, and household challenges. Understanding your ACEs score can provide valuable insights into your past and its potential impact on your current mental and physical health. A higher ACEs score is correlated with an increased risk of certain health problems, mental health issues, and substance abuse. However, it's important to remember that your ACEs score is not a definitive predictor of your future, but rather a tool for self-awareness and understanding. Recognizing the impact of ACEs can empower you to seek support and develop coping strategies to heal from past traumas.
