Conversion Therapy Survivor Network is a survivor-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting people who have experienced conversion therapy and working to end the practice everywhere.
The Supreme Court case Chiles v. Salazar has already had an impact on our community, and survivors need your help more than ever. While the outcome was not what we hoped for, and its full impact is still being debated, we heard one message loud and clear: survivors were heard. We're honored that, in her dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson cited our amicus brief .
That recognition matters.
In 2019, CTSN began from a simple question: “Is there a support group for people like us?” Today, we have grown into a global, survivor-led network. And as many survivors continue to navigate the lasting harms of conversion therapy, we can finally answer that question with a resounding:
"Yes! You are not alone."
Today, we're asking you to help us continue our work:
- A weekly survivor support group where people can connect, process, and heal in community
- Public education to raise awareness and prevent future harm
- A survivor-led podcast to share real stories and reach those who feel isolated
- Participation in IDECT (International Day to End Conversion Therapy)
- Booths at Pride events to reach survivors where they are
This fundraiser supports our presence at Pride events and fuels our work year-round. For survivors of conversion therapy, Pride is often a mark of another year that we beat the odds. For us, Pride is a celebration and a chance to reach those who are still searching for support.
If you're a survivor, we're here to remind you: your trauma was real. It wasn't your fault. And you deserve to be loved.
Every dollar helps us keep our support group running, expand our educational reach, and continue building projects like our podcast so survivor voices are heard far beyond a single moment or court case.
