Comment in support of banning the practice of conversion therapy
 

Conversion therapy has been dismissed as lacking any scientific foundation. It is a scam and can lead to harmful outcomes for patients and their families. Professionals practicing in the Commonwealth should not be allowed to use this therapy on their patients. Please ban conversion therapy as a recognized treatment model.
