I was recently facilitating a high-level Trauma Informed Care training and a question was posed that I am not sure of the answer to. I would value your feedback!
The question is:
Has the “mother treated violently” language on the ACE Questionnaire been updated to include gender-inclusive language or roles (or is this still a gender-specific statistic like the “mother struggling financially”)?
That's a really good question. The 10 questions on the questionnaire should be adjusted when it comes to the one about parents going to prison. I still don't know if I'm a 9 or 10. Simply because my father was in and out of jail all the time but he never went to prison. So the one question that asked if I had any parents that went to prison I said no. Maybe I should say yes because he was incarcerated at the county jail all the time. I kind of think others may not understand this question as well
