The American Counseling Association (ACA) is profoundly disappointed in today's ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Colorado's ban on conversion therapy. Despite the ruling, the evidence remains clear: conversion therapy is harmful, discredited, and unsupported by science, and its risks to client well-being are well documented. ACA, SAIGE and other leading mental health organizations remain committed to ethical, evidence-based, and affirming care, and will continue to oppose practices that violate these standards of care.

Maybe I’m biased, but Play Therapy is wonderful❤️ There are so many little glimmers throughout the process that shine through the darkness. It may not look traditional or like the usual form of “progress” adults would expect, but these moments are big for kids!

Chatbots (AI) are growing in how much they're used in our day to day lives, even for our children. This is NOT necessarily a positive thing. When it can be difficult for adults to discern a real/true article or photo from an AI generated one, imagine how much more difficult it can be for kids.

AI chatbots may facilitate dangerous behaviors by children and adolescents, but most parents are poorly prepared to protect them.
