Ban conversion therapy
 

When children and young adults are struggling with their identity, the providers they seek out for mental health care are entrusted with their safety.   Conversion therapy has proven to be harmful to youth who identify as LBGTQ+.  This practice should be banned so that individuals seeking treatment can review unbiased mental health care from any provider in the state.
