Understanding your own ACE Score
At ACEs Matter, we recognize that adversity is not the end of the story—it’s the beginning of grit and resilience.
People with ACEs go on to become doctors, lawyers, teachers, athletes, business owners, entertainers, authors, and so much more.
By spreading awareness and encouraging individuals to take the ACE survey, we empower them with knowledge to better understand their experiences and take steps toward healing.
Research shows that high ACE scores are linked to increased health risks and behavioral challenges, but with awareness and support, people can rewrite their narrative and thrive.
​​Why P.E.A.R. Scores
Some Chinese traditions believe that the pear is a symbol of immortality and some say it also bestows wisdom and health.
Name It To Tame It!
Think of your P.E.A.R scores like your FICO credit scores, both are designed to assess your potential and your risk.
P = Positive Childhood Experiences Score (7 Questions)
E = Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Score (7 Questions)
A = Adverse Childhood Experiences Score (10-15 Questions)
R = Resilience Score (14 Questions)
P.E.A.R scores tell your resilience and capability story. Each quiz carefully researched by trauma informed experts. Start there.
For fun, a FICO score is a type of credit score that makes up a substantial portion of the credit report lenders use to assess an applicant's credit risk.

After learning your ACE score, we encourage you to join or host a documentary watch party with one of our trained Party Facilitators.
We call them Awareness Parties because we are celebrating that the information on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) is no longer segregated from vulnerable populations.
Understanding ACEs - Subject Matter Experts
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events that can be acute, chronic, and/or complex. ACEs are common with 40% of children under the age of eighteen having suffered some sort of trauma. How each individual experienced a traumatic event mentally and physically determines the overall influence and impact.
According to Dr. Bruce Perry, the age when ACEs occur are of utmost importance. "The timing of adversity makes a huge difference in determining overall risk. Put simply, if you experience trauma at age two, it will have more impact on your health than that same trauma taking place at age 17."
