Guidance Document Change: Consistent with the established position of the NASW, the Board considers “conversion therapy” or “sexual orientation change efforts” to be services that have the potential to be a danger to clients, especially minors. Thus, under regulations governing practitioners licensed or registered by the Board, practicing conversion therapy/sexual orientation change efforts with minors could result in a finding of misconduct and disciplinary action against the licensee or registrant.

God gives children to parents, not bureaucrats
 

It is the parents' duty and role to counsel and guide their children.  It is neither the duty nor the role of a government agency or board to usurp parents' God-given right.  It is the duty and role of government to protect parents' rights.
