Childhood Trauma Screener · ACE
Screening
This is an awareness tool, not a diagnosis — and not a verdict about your future. Your ACE score simply counts certain hard childhood experiences; it can’t capture the support, strengths and resilience that shape how people actually turn out. Some questions touch on difficult memories. Answer only what you’re comfortable with, and be gentle with yourself. If anything here brings up distress, please reach out for support (see below).
The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) questionnaire is a widely used 10-item measure of certain kinds of hardship before age 18. Answer Yes or No to each. Your score is simply the number of “yes” answers — a prompt for reflection and self-understanding, not a diagnosis or a prediction.
