Say NO to Conversion Therapy: Stay in Your Lane
Under this proposed regulation, it would not help youth. You should bring a group of experience counselors together to help the committee understand the danger of this regulation. This regulation will violate the principle of patient therapy. This regulation will only put high risk youth at the center for suicidal ideation. This regulation has no place in patient direct therapy.
