This tool offers a structured, two-part self-report format. The ACE portion assesses ten categories of early adversity (e.g., abuse, neglect, household dysfunction), generating a cumulative score linked to potential long-term health and behavioral risks. The resilience inventory then evaluates factors such as supportive relationships, coping skills, and sense of purpose—helping contextualize the ACE score within a broader framework of strengths and recovery potential. Together, the assessments foster balanced client conversations, support care planning, and promote a strengths-based perspective.
