Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion

The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.

Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:

  • Correct any misunderstandings
  • Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
  • Support discussions where official clarification is needed

Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.

Thank you for being part of the conversation.

    We use a visual/character in our branded materials. We would like create a conference banner that would only include the image, brand logo and invitation to visit the booth for more information. Would this be exempt from PAAB review?

      Hello @tmcm

      If the visual does not allude to therapeutic use then it is likely exempt.

      Note that when you link exempt content to advertising, the exempt content may no longer be exempt. If the booth contains promotional claims, it would be prudent to convey in the review of the booth, the content of the conference banner which is directing the user to the booth so that we may ensure it does not exceed the regulations.
