Multiple Boards

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

This type of brainwashing doesn't work and is unnecessary.
Homesexuality is not something that needs to be treated or cured.
Conversion therapy is not therapy. It is a cruel attempt by the uninformed to convince vulnerable LGBTQ people to act normal. They are already normal.
