Empowering the Mental Health Community with Affekti

Affekti is a responsive web platform built to help licensed mental health professionals share, sell, and access educational resources. Unlike traditional academic systems, Affekti supports peer-created content—from courses to downloadable tools—while giving verified contributors a new source of income. Chop Dawg partnered with the Affekti team to bring this vision to life through intuitive UX, secure account verification, Stripe-powered monetization, and a content discovery experience that supports real-world mental health education.

Closing the Knowledge Gap: Introduction to Affekti

Mental health professionals often face a dilemma—how to share insights and educational materials outside of structured academic institutions. The tools available are either too generic, too insecure, or too hard to monetize. Affekti was created to fix that. The Affekti team envisioned a trusted, secure platform where licensed professionals could contribute real-world resources, build thought leadership, and generate revenue—all while helping others grow in their field. Chop Dawg helped architect and develop a responsive web platform tailored specifically to the workflows and privacy expectations of clinicians and educators. The result is an elegant solution for content publishing, learning, and community-based professional development.

Removing Barriers to Knowledge Sharing: Affekti’s Path to a Verified Content Marketplace

Many platforms claim to support digital content creators, but none were designed for clinicians and mental health experts with licensing requirements and professional integrity on the line. Affekti needed more than file upload tools—it required secure user verification, fine-grained permissions, and trusted monetization infrastructure. Additionally, the team had to ensure simplicity for new contributors while supporting long-term scalability as the platform grows. Chop Dawg stepped in to lead UX planning, dashboard architecture, and payment system design—all while ensuring compliance, security, and ease of use.

From Idea to Impact: A Collaborative Build with Chop Dawg

Giving Mental Health Professionals the Tools to Teach, Learn, and Earn

From the beginning, the Affekti team made it clear: this platform needed to be as thoughtful and structured as the professionals it would serve. Chop Dawg helped shape every key workflow—from secure account registration to real-time earnings dashboards and licensing-based permissions.

We collaborated across Zoom, Slack, Figma, GitHub, and Jira to define, prototype, develop, and test each feature in real time. With a clear launch strategy and scalable architecture in place, Affekti is now positioned to grow as the go-to publishing and learning platform for mental health professionals across the U.S.

Powering Peer-to-Peer Mental Health Education with Affekti

From publishing resources to collecting payouts, Affekti gives professionals the tools to share their expertise—and get compensated for it.

Verified Content Uploads

Licensed users can upload videos, documents, worksheets, or full-length courses. All content is tied to a verified profile, ensuring that buyers know exactly who they’re learning from and what qualifications they bring.

Real-Time Revenue Dashboard

Each contributor receives access to an intuitive earnings dashboard showing purchases, payouts, and performance. Automatic Stripe deposits are triggered once the minimum threshold is met—making it easy to earn passively and track growth.

Discovery and Purchase Flow

Users can explore a growing library of categorized content—browsing by topic, specialty, price, or format. Preview summaries, pricing transparency, and simple checkout flow make learning fast and frictionless.

Supporting Verified Experts with Affekti’s Core Essentials

Built from the ground up for trusted publishing, Affekti gives platform admins the control and tools needed to scale, verify, and support users at every step.

License and Insurance Upload System

Before publishing, every user must submit valid license and insurance documentation. Admins can view, approve, or reject applications through a secure backend interface—ensuring the platform remains a trusted ecosystem for professionals.

User and Resource Moderation

Admins have full oversight over published content, user accounts, and flagging activity. If a resource is reported or if a license is expired, platform admins can take immediate action—keeping the platform safe, professional, and aligned with its mission.

Role-Based Permissions and Tiered Access

Affekti supports role-specific access—differentiating between contributors, learners, and administrators. Admins can also grant extended access to reviewers, customer support agents, or onboarding personnel as the platform scales.

End-to-End Guidance and Support

From infrastructure planning to Stripe monetization, Chop Dawg supported the Affekti team at every phase of development.

  • Monetization Strategy and Stripe Setup

    We guided Affekti through the full payment flow—from payout thresholds to user Stripe onboarding. This included testing account linking, deposit timing, and clear UX messaging throughout the purchase flow.

  • Launch-Ready Infrastructure and Handoff

    Affekti received a fully documented, production-ready codebase with technical support for post-launch success—including feature documentation, admin walkthroughs, and version control access.

Seamless Collaboration, Every Step of the Way

Chop Dawg worked closely with the Affekti team from day one to ensure every milestone was hit on time and with clarity. Weekly scheduled Zoom calls, daily Slack check-ins, access to real-time updates via Figma and GitHub, and live access to our design and development team helped drive progress quickly. We shared in the vision to empower a new generation of educators and content contributors in the mental health space—turning Affekti into a mission-driven platform that benefits professionals and learners alike.
