Although previous research has determined the association of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the onset of depression in adulthood, there is limited research regarding Southeast Asians refugees who experienced war trauma in their childhood and their descendants who bear intergenerational trauma. This study explored the relationship presence of Adverse Childhood Experiences, war trauma, resilience, and depressive symptoms among individuals identifying as Southeast Asian Americans who were born in a foreign country or in the United States. A total of 71 participants were surveyed utilizing the Adverse Childhood Experiences survey, war trauma questionnaire, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Patient Health Questionnaire - 9. Multiple linear regression analyses indicated that ACEs significantly predicted depressive symptoms among foreign-born SEA Americans, while resilience was a significant predictor of depressive symptoms for U.S. born SEA Americans. The findings from this study provide insight into mental health outcomes among this population to develop culturally competent treatment approaches when providing mental health services to Southeast Asians Americans
