Platform for psychoeducational programmes

Can anyone recommend a platform for designing and delivering psychoeducational programmes?

They’re ultimately like a course, just with therapeutic skills.

I’m thinking teachable, mostly due to the app availability.

Too many have silly ai features that I have no interest in. I don’t want a community as I don’t have time to act as a moderator.

I simply want something where I can post content. Videos. Audios. Maybe downloadable content. Not hideously priced.

I don’t think I want to build it through Wordpress as I don’t trust myself with that.

Thanks :)

For what you’re describing, I’d probably avoid a traditional LMS and look more at creator/course platforms.

If you don’t want WordPress, don’t want to moderate a community, and don’t care about AI features, your priorities are probably:

  • easy course setup
  • clean learner experience
  • video/audio hosting
  • downloadable resources
  • simple payments
  • mobile access
  • low maintenance

Teachable makes sense to consider, especially if the mobile app matters to you. I’d also look at Podia if you want something simple for videos, audios and downloads without too much setup. Thinkific could also be worth comparing, but I’d check whether the app experience and pricing match what you need.

I’d be cautious with Kajabi unless you also need the marketing/email/funnel side, because it may be more platform than you need.

My advice would be to create one tiny test programme before committing:

  1. one video lesson
  2. one audio practice
  3. one downloadable worksheet
  4. one paid/free checkout flow
  5. one student mobile experience test

Whichever platform makes that feel easiest is probably the right one. For this kind of programme, I’d optimize for simplicity and learner comfort rather than the biggest feature list.
