In recent years, increased attention has been given to screening children and adolescents
for adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). ACEs include growing up in homes involving
violence, abuse, neglect, mental health or substance abuse issues, parental separation, or
incarceration. Researchers have found that ACEs negatively impact mental and physical
health in adulthood and can limit life opportunities (CDC, 2020). Through screening,
social workers can identify these experiences in a child\u2019s life and then consider methods
to prevent or mitigate the negative effects. Some screening tools have even been
expanded to include related life events that contribute to toxic stress, in order to get a
broader picture of a child\u2019s experiences.
