Understanding your past and your resilience is an essential step toward healing and growth. Below, you’ll find two free tools designed to provide insights into your experiences and inner strengths:
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Questionnaire
The ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) test, from the CDC-Kaiser study, measures childhood trauma and its link to adult health and social outcomes. It includes 10 specific experiences, with a higher score indicating increased risks of emotional, social, and physical challenges later in life. Understanding your ACE score can be a transformative step toward healing and breaking cycles of generational trauma.
Adverse Childhood Experiences can leave lasting effects. However, protective factors – such as supportive relationships and coping strategies – act as buffers, helping us unload the weight of early trauma and build resilience. This questionnaire invites you to explore these protective elements, empowering you to nurture strengths and foster emotional resilience.
