Ideas on making forum more easily accessible
Printer-friendly versionSend to friend
Eric,
I'm noticing that that we are getting posts to the forum from both "professionals" with training in therapy/research and non-professionals, mostly people looking for self-help resources or current or potential clients. The conversations that these two groups need to be helpful are quite different. I wonder whether we might not want to find some way to format the structure of the forums to make it more clear that one set of forums are for professionals to discuss more technical matters and one set of forums are for "laypersons?" Is there some way we could get something like this to happen?I have a feeling it might make these forums more useful.
splitting the forums
Sure, it makes sense to me to split the forums into a "professional" section and a "public" section. I can easily move the existing forums to a "professional" section and then create a new "public" section. What sort of forum categories should be included in the public section?
Hmmm off the top of my head
Maybe 3 sections, public, professional, and general website? There are some public questions and responses already in the professional part that you might want to reclassify if you can do that quickly.
As for categories for the public, I'd guess:
Looking for ACT Resources
Questions about ACT
What is ACT?
Applying ACT in one's life
General Discusssion
Yea!
I am so glad you split the forum. I've sent some of my clients here to learn more about ACT. Now it will make even more sense to do so. Irene Matiatos, PhD
