Ban Conversion Therapy in Virginia
 

No one should be subjected to the discredited and psychologically abusive practices known as conversion "therapy." Mental health services should be ethical and evidence-based practices. Conversion "therapy" is known to be extremely harmful, and no one should be subjected to it or misled to believe that it can actually help them, when we know it can't.
