Terms & medical notice

A resource for learning.
Not a clinical service.

These terms cover the scottsilva.com homepage and Childhood, Understood. The homepage links to Scott’s professional work and external writing; linked sites have their own terms. Opinions in external articles are not clinical advice or independently validated findings of this microsite.

Purpose and limits

Content and reflections are educational. They do not diagnose, prevent or treat a condition, establish a professional relationship, or replace individualized care. Neither a low nor a high category count determines your need for support.

Voluntary participation

The proposed questionnaires are for adults 18+ reflecting on their own experiences. You may skip, stop, or read without answering. Do not submit information about a child or another person.

No emergency monitoring

No one monitors answers or sends help based on them. For urgent needs, use the support page and appropriate local emergency services.

New tool disclosure

Context & Support is an unvalidated reflection. It is not presented as a better-performing ACE test, a measure of resilience, or a diagnostic instrument.

Sources and rights

Sources are attributed; no endorsement by source organizations is implied. Instrument reproduction rights and final wording must be checked before release. External services have separate terms and privacy practices.

Operator and contact

Responsible entity, approved contact and jurisdiction-specific terms remain to be confirmed. No invented arbitration, liability waiver or legal address is included in this draft.
