Hi, 

I"m writing today to let you know that I disapprove of conversion therapy. Its harmful to our young people. 

• These practices are known to be extremely dangerous and can lead to depression, decreased self-esteem, substance abuse, and even suicide attempts.
• No young person should ever be shamed by a mental health professional into thinking that who they are is wrong. Mental health professionals should provide care that is ethical and affirming for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender young people.
• We can’t allow one more young person to be targeted and hurt by these dangerous and discredited practices.

thank you for your time, 

Lisa Rogerson
