Reply to "Military service providers and ACEs"

Hi, all. I'm an active duty LCSW in the US Army. During my last assignment in an embedded behavioral health clinic at a large military installation in the US, I incorporated Felitti's 10-item ACE questionnaire in our intake packet to give us a quick assessment of the role that childhood adversity might be having on their functioning. It was a worthwhile addition, as it it provided a lot of information, rapidly. The data was often instrumental in assessment and treatment. I also conducted some education/training across the maneuver battalions of the prevalence and impact of ACE within our ranks. Both officer and enlisted could easily engage with the content, and found it to be helpful, especially in terms of understanding what factors might be influencing high risk/at risk/disengaged behavior within our ranks.
