Canada Banned Conversion Practices in December 2021. What Now?

In December 2021, Canada passed a law banning conversion practices–discredited and abusive “therapies” designed to change or repress non-heterosexual and non-cisgender identities, behaviours and desires. In response to and building on Canada’s ban on conversion practices, we are developing a set of resources focusing on educating and empowering 2SLGBTQ+ communities along with health and social service providers. These will include tools and campaigns such as “Know Your Rights” resources, survivor support resources, tips on identifying and disrupting conversion practices, and more!

We would love to hear your thoughts and ideas about:

• Recognizing conversion practices in action

• Supporting survivors of conversion practices

• What health and social service providers need to know about Canada’s recent ban on conversion “therapy"

• Resources on homophobic and transphobic conversion practices to give clients, family members, and/or colleagues

Help us develop tools and resources that work for you.
