Adverse Childhood Questionnaire

Adverse Childhood Questionnaire

ACE Questionnaire (Adverse Childhood Experiences Assessment)

The ACE Questionnaire is a research-backed self-assessment designed to help you reflect on experiences from your childhood that may have shaped your emotional, mental, and physical well-being. It consists of 10 simple yes-or-no questions about experiences before the age of 18, including family dynamics, neglect, abuse, and household challenges.

Your results provide an ACE score (0–10), which can help you better understand how early life experiences may influence stress, relationships, health, and personal growth. This questionnaire is intended for self-awareness and educational purposes—it is not a diagnostic or mental health evaluation.

Whether you're on a healing journey, working with a therapist, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, the ACE Questionnaire can be a valuable first step toward recognizing patterns and building resilience.

Includes:

  • The complete 10-question ACE assessment

  • Simple scoring instructions

  • Educational information about what your score may mean

  • Guidance for reflection and next steps
