If you are currently experiencing abuse aimed at changing, altering, or ‘curing’ your LGBT+ identity, or think this will happen to you if you come out, Galop’s Conversion Therapy Helpline is here for you. So-called conversion therapy can have a long-term impact on LGBT+ people. If this has happened to you in the past and you are still struggling with it, you can reach out to Galop’s support services. The helpline can provide a safe, confidential listening and information service to any LGBT+ person aged 13+.

I really appreciated speaking to you yesterday. You are the first person to whom I have told the full story of this abuse, and you really helped me. I can’t overstate how important it was, that morning, that you were on the other end of the line, and that you were so kind, considerate and helpful. Thank you — it really made a difference.
