We invite you to join us in May to hear from Medical Institute’s very own Amy E. Hamilton, Ph.D., as she shares a perspective on a recent Supreme Court Ruling and the implications for minors and people in the counseling field.
The Supreme Court recently struck down a “conversion therapy” ban in Colorado. But what exactly is “conversion therapy,” such that states seek to ban it in the first place? This talk will help you separate the facts from the abundant fictions regarding this issue and will demonstrate how the SCOTUS ruling makes therapy and minors safer.
