Your PCE Total Score
Individuals who feel the impact of missed positive childhood experiences may benefit from intentionally creating some of these experiences as adults: joining groups and clubs where we can build a sense of belonging, seeking a mentor, investing in strong friendships, participating in the traditions of the communities we are a part of, and seeking the support of a therapist as appropriate.
