Curtis joins me to have an incredibly vulnerable chat.
When he was 16 years old he was subjected to conversion therapy; an experience he was later able to use to ban conversion therapy in his home State. Curtis has now taken his activism to the next level and founded the Conversion Therapy Dropout Network to bring survivors of conversion therapy together in community and solidarity. The mission of the organisation is bridge the gap between survivors of conversion therapy and provide a support network to those harmed by the practice. It was formed to provide a space for conversion therapy survivors (dropouts) to heal and find solace in knowing they are not alone. They believe that knowing others who have experienced the same trauma and sharing your experiences helps heal the deep trauma felt by survivors.
Thank you Curtis for joining me on this chat and sharing your story with us.
