Conversion Therapy Flim Flam
 

Mental health professionals should provide care that is ethical and affirming for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender young people. Therapy should be a safe place.  Also therapy should be evidence supported and effective in helping people meet their goals. Conversion therapy is not only abusive - its ineffective and there is science to support how unhelpful it is. Please ban conversion therapy.
