Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community

Traveller Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Siobhán Ní Bhriain:

The Senator has made a number of points there but I will return to the first thing he mentioned, which was conversion therapy for people who may not have gender-congruent orientation. That is absolutely unacceptable and is not part of the mental health services. It is not an evidence-based therapy or something we would accept in any way.
