Reports (2)
  • Status is not correct "After the passage of the Youth Mental Health Protection Act (which was granted emergency status and went into effect immediately) it is illegal for professional mental health providers to perform conversion therapy on minors. However, it is not illegal for those over 18, despite the professional regulations against it."
  • Newer law has been passed "Conversion therapy was banned for minors in May. http://time.com/3889687/oregon-conversion-therapy-ban/"
