Find out about NASW chapter legislative and policy victories and activities at chapters around the country, in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam.
The New York State Legislature voted to pass legislation A.576/S.1046,which will prohibit licensed mental health professionals from engaging in efforts to change a minor’s sexual orientation, gender expression, and/or gender identity, otherwise referred to as “conversion” or “reparative” therapy. This legislative victory is a long time coming. NASW-NYS has long condemned the use of conversion therapy and for years, we continued to push for passage of legislation that would ban this dangerous and outdated practice.
Around the country, NASW chapters are organizing for racial justice.
