Welcome to My Survey

I am in the process of writing a chapter entitled Wounded Healers to my book, Trauma Informed Self-Care:  A Handy Guide for the Every-Day Warrior.
The purpose of this survey is to gather information from Mental Health Practitioners who themselves have a history of either Complex Trauma or Posttraumatic Stress Disorder using the Adverse Childhood Experiences Scale (ACES).  One study (2013) conducted with MH providers indicated the following:

64% scored 1 or more.
53% scored 2 or more.
15% scored 4 or more
 
—Substance Abuse the most common.
—34%:  A family member with Depression/other mental illness.
 
There are 8 questions asking about childhood experiences.
 
This survey will only take about 5 minutes. 
 
In advance, thank you for helping!
