Brand engagement notes

Brands should approach this community with caution, as overt promotion or commercial messaging is likely to be met with skepticism or hostility. Authentic engagement, such as sharing valuable resources, participating in discussions, or sponsoring educational content that aligns with the community's values, can be effective. Brands should focus on building trust and demonstrating a genuine commitment to social justice and mental health advocacy rather than pushing products.
