Background
Program participants are supported by an App that provides community, education, and content that reinforces the concepts learned in the program. The BCF website serves as the first-ever PTG information hub, and includes comprehensive resources for researchers, mental health professionals, leaders, peers, and those seeking to integrate the practices and principles of PTG into their lives.
This collaboration aimed to provide scalable, accessible, and high-quality training that could reach a global audience.
BCF knew the custom reporting and eCommerce functionality would allow them to track learner engagement, measure return on investment, and ensure seamless course accessibility.
BCF also sought a partnership with GuyKat to provide expert Docebo guidance and to develop two eLearning courses.
What was the learning challenge?
BCF identified three clear goals:
Create a comprehensive eLearning solution that is engaging, user-friendly, and capable of supporting its mission on a larger scale, available for purchase through Docebo’s eCommerce app.
Offer an advanced training curriculum and certification programme so that Licensed Mental Health Clinicians can incorporate PTG into their practice.
Implement an accessible and personalised platform that delivers a seamless, user-friendly experience, tailored to BCF’s diverse audiences.
From the beginning of this journey, BCF knew that a multi-faceted platform populated with a suite of eLearning courses would provide a new channel of access to those suffering in the aftermath of trauma. Prior to launch, the PTG programs were only available through in-person sessions, which limited the reach of the programs.
What was the solution?
BCF and GuyKat’s strategic partnership has led to a first-class eLearning experience that truly changes a person’s life.
Key elements of the solution included:
Custom eLearning courses:
Two engaging eLearning courses featuring interactive video elements, downloadable PDF workbooks, reflection activities, quizzes, and access to the latest PTG research.
Posttraumatic Growth in Practice (PTGIP):
Designed for individuals who are struggling in the aftermath of trauma, aimed at helping them experience Post-traumatic Growth.
Posttraumatic Growth Certification (PTGC):
A certification program for licensed mental health clinicians who want to understand and apply principles of PTG in their practice.
New Certification Process:
A new certification process with tailored enrolment fields that capture essential information about each learner’s licensing and professional background, ensuring only qualified Licensed Mental Health Clinicians can register.
A Professional PTG Community:
A professional PTG community by enabling certified clinicians to earn a LinkedIn badge, making it easy for them to connect, collaborate, and consult on PTG practices.
A personalised learning experience for each audience, with two fully responsive homepages:
Once the learner has registered and enrolled in the program, they can easily find the resources and content relevant to their course. Made possible through a large, stylised catalog widget, a rotating carousel featuring additional resources, a library of supplementary learning materials, and personalised messages.
GuyKat continues to provide ongoing, end-user support to BCF learners, handling technical queries, allowing the BCF Learning Team to focus on what matters most: delivering impactful learning experiences and helping individuals heal in the aftermath of trauma.
8 days Module Development Time
This module was designed and developed in 8 working days. From concept to completed learning module in weeks.
What was the impact?
The impact of BCF’s eLearning initiative has been significant.
Since its release, the Posttraumatic Growth in Practice (PTGIP) course has seen:
Ensuring learners are better equipped to steer clients towards hope and possibilities beyond PTSD symptom reduction.
“GuyKat was instrumental in helping us successfully navigate the complexities of launching a new LMS platform with a very tight timeline.”
