You’re home.
The mission plaque is on the wall, everyone keeps saying “Welcome home, Elder/Sister,” but inside it feels like you’re drowning.
• Dating is terrifying
• Your testimony feels shaky or completely different
• Scrupulosity and shame are louder than ever
• You’re angry at the mission, the Church, yourself, or all three
• Friends who didn’t serve treat you like you’re still 19 and “weird”
• You’re supposed to have it all figured out… but you don’t
This 8-week group is built specifically for returned missionaries who want to land on their feet instead of crashing.
Each week we tackle one of the biggest post-mission landmines:
• Week 1 – Re-entry shock: why the first 90 days feel insane (and how to survive them)
• Week 2 – Rebuilding identity when “Elder/Sister” is gone
• Week 3 – Dating after the mission: guilt, fear, and actually enjoying it
• Week 4 – Faith evolution: what to do when your mission shelf is heavier than ever
• Week 5 – Scrupulosity, perfectionism, and unworthiness loops that followed you home
• Week 6 – Healthy boundaries with parents, bishops, and well-meaning ward members
• Week 7 – Depression, anxiety, and the post-mission mental-health crash nobody warned you about
• Week 8 – Designing your next chapter: school, career, temple marriage, or none of the above — on your terms
Small group (6–10 RMs), same date/time every week in person, 75 minutes. Parents and bishops are never in the room — this is a peer space where you can swear, cry, doubt, or cheer without judgment.
Led by Brent Schrader, LCSW-S — RM himself, 21-year therapist, and the guy bishops call when missionaries come home early or spiral after they’re released.
Every participant gets:
• A physical Home Strong workbook mailed to you
• Private group chat for support between sessions
Cost: $299 for all 8 weeks (payment plans, bishop assistance, and hardship scholarships available)
Next group starts when 6 RM's have signed up. Only 10 spots.
Bishops, parents, and YSA leaders: this isn’t therapy for “broken” missionaries — it’s resiliency training so the solid ones stay solid and the struggling ones get the tools they didn’t know they needed.
Give your RM the softest landing possible.
