Please ban Conversion Therapy. We work with many teens struggling with their sexuality or gender identity. Many parents struggle with their teens and refuse to admit this is an issue for their child because of a variety of reasons.
However, Conversion Therapy is know to be dangerous and can lead to depression, decreased self esteem and suicide attempts. These harmful practices use rejection, shaming, and psychological abuse to try and change individuals. No young person should ever be shamed by someone in the Mental Health Community trying to change them. This goes against the ethics of Mental Health Professionals.
This archaic treatment of individual/specifically teenagers who are under age needs to end!
