Adverse Childhood Experiences

The higher your ACE score, the higher your risk of health and social problems. As your ACE score increases, so does the risk of poor health, chronic disease, depression, mental illness, suicide, being violent and a victim of violence. Growing up in a toxic environment often leads to difficulty forming healthy and stable relationships, unstable work histories as adults, and struggles with finances, family, and jobs, throughout life.

Fortunately, you have reporting experiencing 0 of the ACE events listed. There are, of course, many other types of childhood trauma — such as: racism, bullying, watching a sibling being abused, losing a caregiver or close family member, homelessness, surviving a severe accident, witnessing other forms of abuse, and involvement with the foster care or juvenile justice system. The ACE Study included only those 10 childhood traumas because these have been well studied in research literature.

Furthermore, even if you did not experience an ACE event, your risk of health and social consequences may increase if you experienced other types of toxic stress over months or years.

Did you know that, even among American adults with an ACE score of 0:

• 3% struggle with adult Alcoholism

• 10-15% battle Chronic Depression

• 30% are on Anti-Depressants
