SUMMARY:The Unhindered Clinical Instrument- Dr. Charity Byers - ZOOM Only
DESCRIPTION:The Unhindered Clinical Instrument (UCI) assesses clients’ spiritual and emotional health and directs a pathway for transformation from the inside out. \nThe Unhindered Model provides a model for case conceptualization\, treatment planning\, and assessing growth within clinical practice. The UCI measures aspects of our hearts and lives that need to be unhindered (such as unredeemed pain\, unhealthy foundational beliefs\, guiding life lessons\, and character). This data allows an individual to see exactly what they need to transform inside of their hearts in order to have a transformed life. The UCI can provide valuable data to help a clinician quickly connect the dots in a client’s story\, get below the surface\, and measure healing over time. \nThis instrument is designed for use within clinical settings\, discipleship circles\, and leadership development. Overall\, its intended purpose is to guide emotional and spiritual development that aligns clients more deeply with God’s intentions for our hearts and lives. \n\n\n\nDr. Charity Byers serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Psychologist for Blessing Ranch Ministries. She loves continuing the mission that began with her father\, Dr. John Walker\, to help Christian leaders live well\, lead well\, and finish well. Dr. Byers’ educational degrees include a B.A. in Clinical Counseling and School Psychology from Western State College of Colorado\, an M.A. in General Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado\, and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver. She is co-author of the books Unhindered: Aligning the Story of Your Heart and Unhindered 30 Days: Discover Healing\, Freedom\, and Power Within. Charity is married to her husband\, Todd\, and they have a young son. They enjoy boating\, traveling\, hanging out with friends and family\, and being outdoors as often as possible.\n \n\nMatthew Brown is a counseling intern and professional coach with Blessing Ranch Ministries\, where he empowers pastors and Christian leaders to achieve greater impact in life and leadership. With 16 years of full-time ministry experience\, including roles as a campus and teaching pastor at one of America’s fastest-growing churches\, Matt brings a wealth of knowledge and insight into navigating the unique challenges of ministry life. Currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Columbia International University\, Matt is committed to becoming a pastor to pastors. Matthew is married to his wife\, Kelly\, and they have two children. \n\n \nLearning Objectives:\n\nGain Comprehensive Knowledge of the Unhindered Clinical Instrument (UCI): Understand the purpose\, components\, and application of the UCI in measuring emotional and spiritual health.\nExplore the Scriptural Foundations of Transformation and Their Integration into the UCI: Analyze the process of transformation as described in scripture and how these principles are embedded within the UCI framework.\nRecognize the Importance of Deep Self-Understanding and Divine Partnership in Achieving Lasting Transformation: Appreciate the role of self-awareness and partnership with God in fostering significant and enduring personal growth.\nDiscover Practical Applications of the UCI in Various Settings: Learn how to effectively utilize the UCI as a valuable resource in clinical practice\, discipleship programs\, and team development contexts.\n\nThis seminar is a Zoom only event. \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nMeeting ID: 813 6072 4436\nPasscode: 416733 \n1 CEU will be provided.

SUMMARY:Time for a Reboot: Nature as Healing Practice
DESCRIPTION:Everybody needs beauty as well as bread\, places to play in and pray in\, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.” John Muir (1912)\nMuir expressed above what many have described as the “healing balm” that nature provides. In recent years\, the research has become full of all the wondrous impacts of nature for our health and wellness: physically\, mentally\, emotionally\, and even spiritually. These healing benefits can be utilized with clients by integrating them in clinical practice. \nIn this one-hour virtual presentation\, Jamie Lynn Langley will introduce concepts for including nature as part of the healing process\, including briefly identifying the theoretical basis (roots) and exploring supporting research (trunk) for using nature in clinical practice. As time allows\, Jamie will also describe some nature-based activities (branches) that can be utilized with clients and for our own self-care. \nLearning Objectives: \n1) Identify at least three healing benefits of nature-based experiences.\n2) Explore concepts of Nature Deficit Disorder\, Vitamin N\, and Forest Bathing.\n3) Describe at least two nature-based activities that can be utilized in clinical practice with clients of all ages. \nZoom Link
