Mission[edit]
Founded in 2017, Ban Conversion Therapy Kentucky aims to protect youth from the dangers of conversion therapy. These dangers, which have shown to increase suicidal behaviors of participants of conversion therapy [1], have been substantiated by a multitude of mental health and psychological associations, such as the American Medical Association [2], the American Psychological Association [3], and the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Kentucky Psychological Association, Kentucky Medical Association, Kentucky Nurses Association, among various others[4].
Through nonpartisan grassroots advocacy, political action, and community advocacy and building [5], the organization provides access to educational resources, petitions, and encourages members to contact legislators to combat conversion therapy in Kentucky[4].
