As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience, I am astounded that a tech company is allowed to claim space in the mental health community while exploiting our professionals and selling client data to third parties. The only way this can stop is if their funding is cut. Please do your part, NPR, and stop giving them advertising space.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, previous School Psychologist and supervisor to other therapists, I feel passionately about providing quality, ethical and moral mental health care to those clients in need. I am opposed to the harmful business practices that BetterHelp uses with a vulnerable population who is struggling with their mental health. They compromise the ethics of the profession and do not take the cornerstone of our practice seriously (confidentiality) as they have shared client data after promising not to do so. Clients are being misled about BetterHelp and those companies advertising for them should reconsider their relationship with this company.
As a survivor of conversion therapy, there is nothing humane, helpful, or life saving about this type of treatment. I’ve spent the last decade with clinically diagnosed PTSD from this “care”.
Do the right thing. KEEP THE BAN!
Conversion therapy actively hurts people and is in no way effective. Allowing this practice to occur will do so much harm to children who are vulnerable and particularly at risk.
Conversion Therapy IS NOT THERAPY. It is extremely traumatizing and harmful, particularly for children who have no meaningful power or agency to reject such treatment.
This is just cruel. Do you think children want to be different? Do you think they want to subject themselves to possible bullying, rejection, humiliation, etc? This is not something children choose. It is who they are as people. Give them a voice. Support them. Empower them. I stand with them all the way.
Conversion "therapy" is not therapy, it is an abhorrent practice that needs to be treated criminally due to the amount of harm it inflicts on the client and their friends and family. Such "treatment" has been shown to increase depression, anxiety, and suicidality to name a few. Inflicting this abusive and life altering "therapy" upon children that are vulnerable, questioning, or identify as LGBTQ+ is particularly heinous. It is a reprehensible black mark in the history of counseling and needs to be treated as such.
Conversion therapy is not helpful, does not work, and is extremely harmful. It's abhorrent that an adult would try to forcibly change a minor's sexual orientation or gender identity and argue it as "free speech."
