The History, presented by The Mattachine Society of Washington, DC
Thanks for watching part one of PFLAG National’s two part series on conversion therapy, presented by our friends and partners at The Mattachine Society of Washington, DC. One of our key goals is to help you take the information that you learned in this session and use it to make your chapter stronger and more effective. To do that, we’ve created this page to provide you with tools, resources, and references to materials mentioned in the workshop.
As always, the PFLAG National staff is here to help. If you have any questions, comments, or just need some good advice, please don’t hesitate to contact us. You can also contact Lisa A. Linksy, Esq. at [email protected] and the Mattachine Society at [email protected].
