Mental Health Care for Missionaries
Expert-Led Mental Health Courses for Pre-Missionaries, Returned Missionaries, and Parents
Our Purpose
Where Faith Meets Mental Wellness
At the Missionary Wellness Center, we are pioneering a new approach to mental health support for the missionary experience. As strong believers in the power of faith, we understand that spirituality is a crucial source of strength, hope, and resilience. That’s why we uniquely blend professional clinical expertise with gospel principles in every aspect of our training and therapy.
Our comprehensive programs are designed to empower individuals at all stages of the missionary journey:
- Pre-Missionaries: Prepare for your service with the mental and emotional skills needed for mission success.
- Returned Missionaries: Navigate the transition back to everyday life with confidence, processing your experiences through a faith-based lens.
- Missionary Families: Support your loved one’s journey and maintain your own well-being with our specialized parent/family courses.
Led by our team of licensed therapists and religious educators, our courses and counseling services provide a safe, nurturing environment for you to develop resilience, deepen your testimony, and feel truly mission-ready – body, mind, and spirit.

God has a perfect plan for His imperfect children;… “Where two or three are gathered together in my name, as touching one thing, behold, there will I be in the midst of them—even so am I in the midst of you.
