Why the Chiles v. Salazar Decision Matters for Therapy in Nebraska
A message from the Nebraska Psychological Association
Yesterday, the Supreme Court of the United States issued its decision in Chiles v. Salazar, an 8–1 ruling addressing Colorado’s law protecting minors from conversion therapy delivered through talk therapy. The Court held that, as applied to speech-based psychotherapy, Colorado’s law regulates speech based on viewpoint and must be reviewed under the most rigorous First Amendment standard. The case now returns to the lower court for that review.d beyond. Read NPA's full statement HERE!

NPA April Member Spotlight
Helen Montoya, PhD
I became a member shortly after my internship in 1993. Being a student of Jim Cole, a former NPA president and active member/advocate, I had no questions about joining NPA. Jim made membership an obvious choice for new psychologists and I agree! NPA offers so many opportunities and I really appreciate the Continued Education programs! I have benefited from the remote learning opportunities during the pandemic and beyond. Read Dr. Montoya's full Member Spotlight HERE!

High-profile acts of violence are often followed by stories that attempt to explain what happened and why. While these narratives can be compelling, they rarely offer clear guidance for how clinicians, educators, and communities can prevent harm before it occurs. This training builds on existing research and explanatory frameworks to shift the focus from retrospective understanding to forward-looking prevention. Learn more and register HERE!
