We invite you to take a moment and take the ACEs questionnaire. Reflect on your score and what it may reveal about the hidden patterns you've carried from childhood.

Why this matters:

• Nearly two-thirds of adults report experiencing at least one adverse childhood experience, and some groups face even greater risk.

• Globally, around 16 percent of people report having four or more ACEs, a level associated with significantly higher risks of mental and physical health challenges across the lifespan.

Think of your score as a flashlight, it shines light on your past, but it doesn’t decide your future.

And that’s where Rebuilt comes in. This course helps you become consciously aware of how your ACEs may have shaped your foundation, and then empowers you to rebuild it with clarity, purpose, and hope.

Your score isn’t your story, it’s your starting point.

Let’s rebuild, together.

Below is a list of 10 trauma informed questions from the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study.

From the list below, please place a checkmark next to each ACE category that you experienced prior to your 18th birthday. Then, please add up the number of categories of ACEs you experienced and put the total number at the bottom.

This self-check tool is designed to help you gently reflect on your early life experiences. Use this only as a tool for awareness, not as a label.
