NPA Statement on the Supreme Court Decision in Chiles v. Salazar
April 10, 2026
The Nevada Psychological Association (NPA) wishes to convey deep concerns about the recent ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) in Chiles v. Salazar, et.al.
We feel that it is necessary and our obligation as providers and supporters of mental health to recognize and differentiate between the First Amendment rights afforded to all citizens and the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct. At their core, these principles guide us to offer scientifically-grounded care that does not cause harm to those we treat.
Along with the American Psychological Association and other State, Provincial, and Territorial Associations, NPA firmly believes that identifying as LGBTQ+ is not a mental illness, and efforts to challenge or change one’s sexual orientation or gender identity are not ethical. Furthermore, efforts, such as conversion therapies, to forcibly change one’s sexual orientation have been scientifically shown to be harmful and cause significant distress, including depression, anxiety, and increased risk of suicide. Nevada became the 8th state to ban conversion therapies in 2017 for these reasons.

HHS Statement Regarding the Cyberattack on Change Healthcare
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is aware that Change Healthcare – a unit of UnitedHealth Group (UHG) – was impacted by a cybersecurity incident in late February. HHS recognizes the impact this attack has had on health care operations across the country. HHS’ first priority is to help coordinate efforts to avoid disruptions to care throughout the health care system.
HHS is in regular contact with UHG leadership, state partners, and with numerous external stakeholders to better understand the nature of the impacts and to ensure the effectiveness of UHG’s response. HHS has made clear its expectation that UHG does everything in its power to ensure continuity of operations for all health care providers impacted and HHS appreciates UHG’s continuous efforts to do so. HHS is also leading interagency coordination of the Federal government’s related activities, including working closely with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the White House, and other agencies to provide credible, actionable threat intelligence to industry wherever possible.
