Conversion "Therapy." It's Still Happening.
A Report on Practitioners of So-Called Conversion “Therapy” in the U.S.
Our latest report, “It’s Still Happening,” sheds light on the alarming and extensive presence of practitioners of so-called conversion “therapy” across the U.S. Conversion “therapy” refers to a wide range of dangerous, discredited, and unscientific practices that attempt to change a person’s LGBTQ+ identity. This report is the culmination of rigorous and systematic research undertaken by experts at The Trevor Project since 2018, putting a spotlight on a practice that is too often seen as a relic of the past. Perhaps most importantly, this report underscores the need to take action today to end this insidious and exploitative industry — once and for all.
Key Findings
Map of Identified Conversion Therapy Practitioners in the U.S.
The following map illustrates the geographic distribution of the 1,300+ conversion therapy practitioners identified by The Trevor Project.
As conversion therapy is increasingly conducted underground in secret, making it difficult to track, this is likely a significant underrepresentation of the true prevalence of practitioners across the U.S. today.
Access our full report that highlights the prevalence of active practitioners of conversion “therapy” across the United States.
