Please van this archaic practice.  It induces shame, guilt, and self loathing in young people who already struggle enough.  I have personally seen the effects into adulthood where the results are played out in horrific addiction and suicide.

Please ban Conversion Therapy.  We work with many teens struggling with their sexuality or gender identity.  Many parents struggle with their teens and refuse to admit this is an issue for their child because of a variety of reasons.  Conversion Therapy is know to be dangerous and can lead to depression, decreased self esteem and suicide attempts. It is clearly unethical and goes against everything therapists work with clients to support them in.
