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.

Ban Conversion Therapy
 

As a member of the LGBT community, a Mom, and a lawyer I am adamantly opposed to allowing conversion therapy in any form in Virginia. It is harmful to our perfectly normal LGBT kids and child abuse.
