Conversion therapy uses rejection, shame, and psychological abuse to force young people to try to change who they are. These practices are known to be extremely dangerous and can lead to depression, decreased self-esteem, substance abuse, and 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! Ban conversion therapy!
