Adverse childhood experiences and their negative impacts have garnered significant attention. While most studies have primarily focused on their effects on mental health, relatively little research has explored their influence on career development, as well as the underlying mechanisms and protective factors involved. To address this gap, this narrative review examines the impact of adverse childhood experiences on career adaptability and the role of perceived social support in this relationship. The findings indicate that: (1) the effects of adverse childhood experiences on career adaptability can be both negative and positive; (2) perceived social support can partially buffer the negative impact of adverse childhood experiences on career development and career adaptability. However, the protective role of perceived social support has certain limitations. This review provides theoretical insights for future research and practical recommendations for career and psychological counselling practitioners.
