ACE Consideration

Adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs, are potentially traumatic experiences that occur in childhood (0-17 years). If you had more than 3 ACEs during your childhood that you have not worked through with a licensed therapist, I encourage you to see a licensed therapist who does both BSFF and EMDR.  Please do not sign up for services if you have 3 or more of the following experiences, or if you have an untreated, active mental health challenge or a mood disorder.  (Although BSFF can help with these conditions, you should see a licensed mental health therapist.).  Experiences below are considered to be ACEs.

* Experienced violence, abuse, or neglect, or witnessed your loved ones experiencing it.

* Had a family member attempt or die by suicide.

* Grew up in a household with substance abuse or mental health problems, parental separation, family member in jail or prison, homelessness or unstable housing, food insecurity.
